How to Lead Teams to Drive Innovation, Efficiency, Growth or Transformation

While it is important to run experiments in this case as well, it is much more constrained and limited to further improve efficiency rather than anything else.

If we want to lead a team for driving scale and rapid growth, we are better off creating a culture that enables our teams to work closely with the markets and run experiments that allow us to scale existing products or services.

In conclusion, good leaders are able to specialise in one of these types of leadership. Great leaders are able to perform well in any of these situations.

The difference is in being aware of what we are trying to achieve and the ability to make that mindset switch to what is required.

In some situations, leaders might need to do this switch multiple times as they lead multiple teams and each one of them is focused on something specific, which is why becoming and being a great leader is so tough. This ability comes with awareness, practice, experience and a lot of battle scars.
