So how do we deal with the boss's most important initiative that is tabled at an Ignite workshop?


Well, the Ignite workshop will very quickly determine its true worth.


A boss's initiative always starts at the top, but then in many scenarios, when it is compared against other initiatives, its importance gets lower and lower.


In an Ignite, even the “perceived” most important work has to demonstrate value.


What’s really exciting is that everyone in the room has no issue defending the outcome to the boss.


And a boss that accepts that outcome demonstrates great leadership.


And THAT is one way to empower a team.
