Agreed Yaniv, my Dad has always been an insider leader with his business that he's been running for the past 30 years. I noticed this wasn't commonplace in my first job as an accountant at a mid-tier firm so I made sure when I ran my own company I'd go about it more like my Dad than when I was an accountant :) Great article!
Great piece Yaniv. In my experience, both pre and post-COVID, whether a leader is an Outsider or Insider leader I've found almost always correlates to their presence. Leaders that are always present and making themselves known to the team, both at the office and virtually, tend to display the Insider leadership style, whereas leaders I've known to be distant tend to be physically sequestered or generally offline, unresponsive to messages. Perhaps the physicality of being next your team more often or consistently facilitating chats in a virtual environment encourages the "we" more naturally. And one final anecdote: the Outsider leaders I've known never say good morning to their teams.
