Remove The Strings

Creating an environment where individuals feel motivated and capable, leads to better collaboration and overall success. Empowering our team members to take ownership of their work and make decisions, while providing guidance and support in the background is an important role of leadership. An effective leader is able to guide and influence their team without command and control. This can be applied to various situations where the skillful execution of something makes it seem effortless or natural to those observing.

This reminds me of the metaphor “In a good puppet show, you never see the strings.” It means that in a well-executed performance or situation, the behind-the-scenes work or mechanisms are not visible or obvious to the audience. It implies that everything appears seamless and effortless, giving the impression that there is no hidden effort or manipulation involved.
