This can sometimes feel a huge mountain to climb. Leaders are expected to understand and connect with all the unique individuals in their team and motivate them to achieve more, achieve better and achieve faster. Factor in the challenge that many leaders have team members in multiple locations and don’t see them regularly and before you know it, the mountain can seem insurmountable.
Nobody sets out to be a bad leader or manager. Yet the pressure of meeting ever increasing demands and the day to day challenges can cause leaders and managers to fall into bad habits. They don’t appreciate the tremendous impact and influence they have on their people and the business. You want your leaders to have a positive impact and influence, not a negative one.
