When we want to learn more about leadership, we look on the Internet. But all you have to do to find out more is read this article.
We put together an article about leadership that is unlike any other. Read on to find out if we're right.
In many businesses today, there seems to be a real lack of good leadership and a lot of bad and sad leadership. You can easily find example after example of bad and pathetic leadership and how it hurts employees and the health of the business as a whole. So, what are these bad and sad ways of leading? Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach gives a list of ten (10) bad leadership styles.
When we talk to kids about leadership, we have to be very open to change. They seem to have a different way of looking at things than we do.
Poor and lame leadership style number one: not having a vision. This style doesn't have a clear and focused plan for the business at all.
Once you've read everything there is to read about leadership, we hope you'll find the information here interesting enough to suggest to other people.
Poor and pitiful leadership style number two: NOT ETHICAL This style doesn't care at all about having high moral standards or high standards of behaviour.
#3: INFLEXIBLE: This is a terrible way to lead. This style shows that the person is not willing to change.
#4: DISHONEST: This is a bad way to lead. This style is dishonest and includes things like being likely to lie, cheat, or steal.
- SELF-CENTERED: This is a very bad way to lead. This style makes the person seem like an egotist who always puts himself or herself ahead of the company and/or employees.
Poor and lame leadership style No. 6: NOT CAPABLE In this style, the leader doesn't have enough experience, skill, or training to do the job.
When we were asked to write about leadership, we were given so many ideas that we didn't know which ones to use and which ones to leave out.
#7: LOOSE CANON This is a really bad way to lead. Someone with this style lacks self-control and discipline.
Poor and lame leadership style number 8: Not caring This style doesn't care at all about what other people want or need, especially employees.
#9: Isolationist: This is a bad way to lead. This style ignores or downplays the needs and well-being of people outside the group or employees for whom they are directly responsible.
Today, there are many different ways to lead. But, to avoid confusion, we have stuck to describing only one kind.
#10: SABOTEUR: This is a bad way to lead. This style includes actions that are meant to stop, slow down, or stop the implementation of new ideas, changes, or things that the leader doesn't want to happen.
Okay, so what are some of the effects of these weak and weak-kneed ways of leading? Price Waterhouse Coopers did a survey in 2005 and found that it took U.S. companies an average of 48 days and $3,270 to fill an open job. Another nationwide survey found that 67 percent of working adults were actively looking for another job and that 34 percent planned to change jobs within the next three years. The American Institute of Certified Accountants found that 83 percent of its member firms said that they couldn't grow their businesses because they couldn't keep their employees. And another survey found that 85% of managers thought employees left for better pay or better job opportunities, while 80% of employees said they left because of bad management or a toxic work environment. WOW, there seems to be a big misunderstanding here. And if this doesn't tell you enough about the effects, you can find out more at www.perfectlaborstorm.com.
Your strategic thinking business coach tells you that you should have "zero tolerance" for any of these terrible ways to lead in your business or organisation.
