Leadership at Routes to Work

Intent-Based Leadership [IBL] focuses on creating an environment where people at all levels of an organisation can exercise initiative, make decisions, and take ownership of their work. In this model, leaders provide clear guidance on the overall purpose and mission, then empower their teams to make decisions and act based on their expertise and knowledge. Routes to Work are an IBL organisation.
