#212: Managing by Exception - Is It a Good Approach?

<p>Managing by exception is a style of management that emphasises escalation of only significant issues to leaders in an organisation.</p> <p>It is often seen as a way to free up a leader’s capacity, because they are only involved when there is a challenge to be overcome or a significant decision to be made. </p> <p>I’m naturally skeptical about “silver bullet” leadership approaches, so in this episode, I take a look at this style of leading, along with the benefits and potential pitfalls, so you can see how this might suit your situation.</p> <h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize= "22" data-lineheight="33px">Like the Show?
