Adaptive Leadership by E. Grady Bogue

I commend to you a recent New Sentinel article on leadership by Grady Bogue. Grady is currently serving as interim chancellor for UT Chattanooga and previously taught in the educational leadership program at UTK for 20 years. He served as my dissertation chair and often offered challenging questions to his students

He says "adaptive leadership calls for us to  listen more and talk less, to ask more questions and give fewer orders, to resist the compulsion to make every decision but to call colleagues to responsibility for their own decisions". 

What do you think of Grady's view of leadership?
