This chapter outlines four key leadership roles—Boss, Coach, Partner, and Enabler—each with a distinct approach to responsibility and team interaction. The Boss takes full responsibility for team performance with clear expectations, thinking in terms of “I.” The Coach fosters employee self-regulation, thinking “You” by asking questions instead of giving answers. The Partner shares responsibility and focuses on “We,” working collaboratively with the team, while the Enabler ensures necessary support and resources, centering on “Them.” Misusing these roles can lead to “toxic” versions: the Tyrant (Boss), Eternal Therapist (Coach), Best Friend (Partner), and Overprotective Mother (Enabler).

摘要

This chapter outlines four key leadership roles—Boss, Coach, Partner, and Enabler—each with a distinct approach to responsibility and team interaction. The Boss takes full responsibility for team performance with clear expectations, thinking in terms of “I.” The Coach fosters employee self-regulation, thinking “You” by asking questions instead of giving answers. The Partner shares responsibility and focuses on “We,” working collaboratively with the team, while the Enabler ensures necessary support and resources, centering on “Them.” Misusing these roles can lead to “toxic” versions: the Tyrant (Boss), Eternal Therapist (Coach), Best Friend (Partner), and Overprotective Mother (Enabler).
