Let your team take the reins, fostering accountability and a sense of achievement.

Durch effektives Delegieren in der Konferenzorganisation kann man Karrierewachstum erreichen, indem man Aufgaben gezielt an Teammitglieder überträgt, ihre Fähigkeiten optimal nutzt und so die Effizienz steigert. Dies ermöglicht es, sich auf strategische Aufgaben zu konzentrieren und Führungsqualitäten zu entwickeln.

Well-defined roles are crucial for the success of any operation. Equally important is for the individuals in these roles to have the freedom to operate within their responsibilities. This means that those in these crucial roles should understand the scope of their authority, their flexibility, and the level of trust they have to make changes. They should have the ability to innovate and should be immersed in a culture that supports innovation.

The recent eclipse event was a new experience for many event planners. It is a rare event that doesn't happen often in the same place, so there were no "next time we will..." notes to rely on. Consequently, many of the decisions were educated guesses based on the best available data at the time. Our eclipse event was a major success and a proud moment for our team. This success was not just because of the celestial bodies overhead but also because each team trusted that the other would do everything they could to make the event successful, and they trusted the decisions and held to the plan. It was a spectacular event in many ways.

When I was a young leader, information used to trickle down slowly. There was a cultural norm to keep all information on a need-to-know basis, from policy updates to the color of the carpet. It was kept within a small circle. I understand the reasons to limit information to the smallest number of people needed, but not to the extent as it was in the past. This has slowly changed and more information that can be shared is now being shared. Sharing information adds buy-in, ownership, and a feeling of belonging to a group. When communicating expectations, it's very important to explain the why behind the what. A culture of sharing information, where appropriate, will enhance communication and transparency within your group.

One aspect that is not often covered is what happens when your team's decisions fail or have unintended consequences. As a leader, you take the setback on your shoulders. If it succeeds, it's due to your team; if there's a setback, it's solely yours. Your team needs to know you will be there when they fall. Otherwise, the first time they are left holding the bag, they will never innovate again, and it will stunt creativity.
