EP18-LQOTD-18 How do you prioritize tasks as a leader?
In today's episode of "Lead & SUCCEED: Startup Edition"
While the initial thought might be that as a leader, it's your job to prioritize all tasks. The podcast episode presented a different perspective. Instead, the key lies in *empowering* your team members to prioritize their own tasks. Leadership, it seems, is less about controlling every detail and more about fostering an environment where individuals can manage and prioritize their responsibilities themselves.

From a leadership perspective, the focus is more about engagement and facilitating an environment where team members can establish their priorities in line with the organization's objectives. This does not mean that you, as a leader, are absent in the process. Instead, you offer guidance, aid in resolving roadblocks, and keep team members accountable for the tasks and objectives they aim to achieve.
Indeed, there are countless tools available to help with task prioritization. However, the key takeaway is the importance of teamwork and mutual agreement in setting priorities. After all, leadership is about driving people to come together, align their efforts, and work towards common goals.
