Last month I attended a workshop with a business psychologist, Dr Lou Stern, who is one of the USA’s leading executive coaches. He presented a fascinating list of the most common habits of ineffective leaders, based on a review of 300 high level leaders he has coached.
I have listed the first 10 below so you can start to think about which one’s relate most to you. If you aren’t sure, why not give the list to some people who report to you! By the way, these are all habits that can be changed with insight, determination and repetition of the opposite.
How did you go? Any of these ring a bell. I certainly scored a few. In my next tip I’ll cover Dr Stern’s next 10 bad leadership habits.
By the way I want to thank the 200 franchisor executives who recently participated in the launch of our Franchise Excellence Research Findings. The 14 chapter Franchise Excellence Research Report is now available from our online shop. You will find this a fantastic tool that can be used for improving your franchisee recruitment, mentoring and support strategies as well as equipping your leadership team with cutting edge information and analysis. Significant discounts are available for multiple purchases.
Until next time,
Greg Nathan
