The ultimate leadership hack? The Force Multiplier Effect
Your department includes a team of 15 people who are struggling.
Morale is down.
Projects are late.
And there's constant low-level friction.
As a senior leader, you have two options:
Try to individually solve all 15 people’s small problems. You run around putting out fires, mediating disputes, and checking in on project statuses. It's exhausting, and the problems pop up again next week.
Invest deeply and confidentially in the one person who leads those 15 people.
Most organizations default to option 1. It feels busy and productive.
But this 'firefighting' approach doesn't just exhaust you.
It has a massive, hidden cost.
Your time as a senior leader—your most valuable asset—is being consumed by issues far below your pay grade.
Every hour you spend mediating a dispute is an hour you're not spending on strategy.
Innovation.
Or developing other leaders.
Meanwhile, the project delays directly impact revenue and client trust.
And the constant friction tanks engagement, leading to eventual turnover.
The smartest, most effective organizations choose option 2.
When a team leader gets the targeted coaching support they need to gain:
clarity
confidence
and better communication skills
They become a force multiplier.
They solve those 15 problems for you.
More importantly, they build a system where fewer fires start in the first place.
