Most leaders I work with struggle with letting go of doing the things they're overqualified for, and finding more qualified people do the things they don't need to be doing. That bootstrap mentality keeps us doing All The Things for far too long! Whether leaders realize it or not, their failure to master the Delegate and Elevate® tool affects the bottom line of the company. There are real costs to not delegating and elevating, and the totals may shock you: https://lnkd.in/giXC9A3X

Navigating Toxic Leadership: Confronting the Arrogance of Power We have seen a range of leadership approaches in professional settings, from empowering mentors to micromanaging individuals. But regrettably, some succumb to the seduction of power and become the embodiment of the destructive force called the "arrogance of power." This phenomenon, which is engrained in organizational dynamics, appears when leaders rise to the top and start to be suspicious of and consumed by themselves. Employees experience marginalization, decisions become unilateral, and feedback is disregarded. The consequences surpass simple discontent, weakening trust, inhibiting innovation, and destroying organisational culture. In severe situations, abuse may occur as talent leaves and productivity declines. We must all make a shared commitment to accountability, empathy, and humility in order to counteract this poison. Leaders ought to respect integrity, encourage communication, see their position of power as a privilege, and cherish their feedback. Workers must also fight against inaction, push for reform, and demand accountability from their superiors. Organizations may foster inclusive and empowering environments that enable their staff to reach their maximum potential and create opportunities for a better future by recognizing and confronting the arrogance of power.

After some time in these seats, I believe the job of any organizational leader fits into these three core actions: 1. Filter out the noise, protect your people from chaos. 2. Assign meaning to meaningful things, help prioritize what is most important. 3. Provide the tools and resources needed to succeed, support and reward self-efficacy and agency. Everything else is in their wakes.

The job of any organizational leader can fit into three core actions. The slow death of an organization is doing the opposite of these— 1. Filter out the noise, protect your people from chaos. 2. Assign meaning to meaningful things, help people prioritize what is most important. 3. Provide the tools and resources needed to succeed, then support and reward self-efficacy and agency. Where does your org struggle? I’ll go first. Helping people prioroitize what is most important—when most everything feels important and with the end of the year looming, also urgent. 😅

DO YOU WORK with anyone that’s difficult to get-along with? Of course you do, who doesn't? I often hear people say diversity is a strength. That's total nonsense commonly spoken by those who enjoy the refuge of a weak mind, or simply find it safer and more convenient to embrace the bobble-head strategy. The fact is, diversity is an absolute weakness without unity. For example, does your company intentionally hire people that are a bad fit for your organization? I hope not, that would be absurd, right? In fact, effective leaders know how to create work environments that unify people with a common vision and mission. Those who disagree with the vision and mission will eventually behave their way out of the company -- sooner the better. In my book '52 Weeks of Leadership, One Week at a Time' I say people 'Shall Do Greater Things' when -- despite all their individual differences -- they work within a management system that effectively brings out the best in people regardless of their personal strengths and weaknesses or departmental goals and objectives. In my experience, even a small adjustment here and there to an organization's management system will yield a 25% productivity improvement in terms of bottom line results, not some irrelevant productivity metric that too many companies are enamored with. So, what's holding your organization back? If 80% of your actions are inconsequential to the top and bottom line performance of your business, it shouldn't come as a surprise that your answer depends on identifying the vital few things that demand your utmost attention. To your success! Here is a powerful resource that will provide you and your people with profound knowledge to help you reach your ever-increasing potential: "52 Weeks of Leadership : One Week at a Time : You Shall Do Greater Things" now available at: https://lnkd.in/eqBYr93C
