Costs of Sub Par Leadership
by on
Most organizations, no matter how well run, have issues with communication, alignment of resources, and leadership.
Poor or sub par leadership negatively impacts business like nothing else. Poor leaders:
- kill morale
- increase turnover
- erode profits
- crush productivity
Studies show that superior leadership is driven by:
- emotional intelligence
- strategic vision
- talent development
- decisiveness
This is what makes a good leader. It is not what leaders “do.” These are natural talents that are developed. Other leadership talents include:
- concrete organization
- attention to detail
- influencing others
- creativity
- understanding motivation
Lack of development in any of these is sufficient to induce failure. If your organization has issues with leaders not being “stellar”, it is a result of natural talents not being measured and managed as part of an organizations’ ongoing development plans.
Identifying and understanding these talents plays a key role in choosing the best leaders or developing the leaders in your organization. Are these talents present or not present in your leaders? How would you benefit by knowing for sure and not just guessing? What is it costing you by allowing your people use their natural talents at less than their full potential?
