Could Your Leadership Be Weakening Your Team?
Sometimes, despite our best intentions, our leadership qualities have an adverse impact on our teams. We call these leaders who mean well but weaken their teams, Accidental Diminishers.
Teams led by Accidental Diminishers are often underutilized by up to 50%. They suffer from low morale and hold back their best ideas.
Identify Your Diminishing Behavior
Chances are you have one or more diminishing traits. More often than not they disguise themselves as strengths. But with the right questions—and honest assessment from yourself, peers, and supervisors—you can identify your diminishing traits and learn to transform them into multipliers.
What Diminishing Looks Like
INTENTIONS VS. OUTCOMES: A leader might have good intentions when they show up to the office bounding with energy, thinking their spirited demeanor will energize team members. Instead, these leaders consume all the space while others tune them out.
PERCEPTION VS. REALITY: A leader might think that their unrelenting optimism is exactly what the team needs during difficult periods. However, in reality, team members are left wondering if their leader appreciates their struggles and is missing what’s really going on.
