Leveraging one’s team as a leader is very important by ensuring responsibilities are delegated to team members. This was shared by Carla Harris, Vice-chairman, Managing Director, and Senior Client Advisor at Morgan Stanley, Keynote speaker at the CFA Quarterly leadership series.
Harris also spoke on the importance of leveraging one’s uniqueness as a competitive advantage in the workplace and maintaining work-life balance, especially as a leader.
“When tasks are delegated to the team, a Leader would be able to prioritise on the most important things that he/she is being held responsible for,” Harris said at the series held on Wednesday via Zoom.
According to Harris, an individual should be able to use his/her uniqueness as a distinct competitive advantage in an organisation.
