But hislack of leadership ability in a recent canoe trip on theBoundary Waters in Northern Minnesota offered wonderful lessonson how leaders can unknowingly screw up.  Assign responsibility without authority. Bill insisted thatin order to cast his fishing line, he needed to be in the backof the canoe. I was to paddle as he cast and trolled his lure.The only challenge is that the ability to steer a two-personcanoe is handled by the person in the back. He'd shoutdirections to me but I had little authority over the craft.Frustrated, I wanted to turn around and whack him with thepaddle. LESSON: If you assign someone a task, put them wherethey have full control to do what is required rather thanhamstring them with your positional authority. Hire a skill set but don't let the employee use it. TheBoundary Waters are comprised of many lakes connected withislands and it is frequently necessary to portage the canoe tothe...]]></content:encoded>

We sawthe manager as 'hero.' Managers were needed to solve problems,needed for their technical expertise and their know-how. Theywere needed to keep the ship running in tiptop shape! All our old leadership models came from the military, wherepeople took their command from a few people at the top. Thesemodels don't work in today's world.
