It’s not uncommon to work with a leader who has big, creative ideas but doesn’t really understand operations or implementation. These people aren’t interested in hearing the countless details that go into making initiatives successful or worrying about complications that can occur: they assume success is inevitable and that their team members will handle any snags or obstacles. While it’s good to feel trusted, this lack of understanding from a leader can leave employees feeling frustrated or abandoned when they face tricky situations or encounter barriers when implementing the boss’s ideas.
