How Leaders Hurt Us

Prioritize what matters most and execute with confidence: Life Aligned Leadership?
You want to know why I've spent the last year offering programs on productivity, motivation, influence, and executive buy-in??Because that's where people have been saying their pain is.
When I speak to change leaders one on one, they say they need to be more productive, more motivated, more influential, and better at getting buy-in to make the change they know is needed in their organizations.
But I have more data on why the need is so great. Here are the results of my most recent LinkedIn poll:
Lack of leadership accountability is MOST frustrating when leaders don't...
FRUSTRATION CAUSES FATIGUE
No wonder we're all feeling unproductive and unmotivated. When people don't have clear goals, don't feel they are treated fairly, don't have the resources they need, and trying to navigate an inconsistent culture, they become frustrated, fatigued, and burnt out.
ROOT CAUSE
The problem is that we can become as productive and motivated as we'd like and we can learn how to influence and get buy-in with the best of them. But when leadership teams...
The WHOLE ORGANIZATION suffers and will continue to suffer. In fact, as one of my recent research participants shared:
"It is an inverse relationship. The more misaligned a leadership team is, the more suffering there is at the front line because of that misalignment."
I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE
As many of you know, I've been there. I've been in organizations where the misalignment has brought me to my knees. Those organizations have frittered away time, money, opportunity, and good will. I've also had the absolute joy of helping organizations get a vision, get aligned, and have their leaders learn to hold one another accountable. Those organizations have increased their EBIDTA, transformed their cultures, and grown their market share.

1 年Wow - you nailed it. You've described one of my early corporate employers that motivated my move to small business. Unfortunately, many leaders in those kind of toxic organizations think they are doing it the right way. They have forgotten what it's like to be a worker bee.
