Here's a radical leadership strategy:
Hire good people, and then trust them.
Netflix has done so, even going to the point of eliminating their vacation policy:

Something to think about.

Leadership Book on College
Yesterday I wrote about public libraries carrying my books. Last night I received an email from a reader who purchased my book LEADING PEOPLE THE BLACK BELT WAY: CONQUERING THE FIVE CORE PROBLEMS FACING LEADERS TODAY at the bookstore at the University of California-Berkeley.

Review from the HINDU Business Line
LEADING PEOPLE THE BLACK BELT WAY: CONQUERING THE FIVE CORE PROBLEMS FACING LEADERS TODAY continue to gain stature around the world.
This book review just came in from The HINDU Business Line:
"Start Listening
Unlike the ineffective leader, when a skilled leader hears something he doesn’t like, he stops talking and starts listening, even more so than he was previously, writes Timothy H. Warneka in Leading People the Black Belt Way: Conquering the five core problems facing leaders today.
You can’t learn anything about what’s going on in your organisation if you’re always talking, and trying to argue someone out of a perspective, Warneka advises. “If you ask a person whether or not he or she feels empowered and the answer is ‘no,’ then quietly ask ‘why’ and listen to what is said. You will inevitably learn something you did not know.” If, on the other hand, you become defensive and begin arguing how empowered the person should be feeling, then you were not ready to ask the question in the first place, the author avers.
Useful guidance."
