Who is the worst manager you ever worked with?
The organizations that prosper are the ones that attract and retain great leaders at all levels of the organization. The majority of employee retention surveys indicated that most employees leave because of lack of recognition or lack of direction from their immediate supervisor.
Our leaders are far from perfect. What can you learn from both the effective and not so effective leaders? Does you organization share both types of leadership knowledge and reward effective leaders?
Putting It Into Action:
What have you learned from your worst boss? Are you practicing what you learned to not do from that person? Are you consistently applying the best attributes from your best leaders? Do you know how the people who report to you want to be lead? Have you ever asked your team how effective you are as a leader? Tell your boss what level of direction you require from him/her and communicate what are their best leadership attributes.
With you along the path towards success,
Joseph
