Improving your Leadership

Hello friends,

A Study published by the Harvard Business Review found that over half of American workers claim their boss is mildly or highly toxic, while 75% say dealing with their manager is the most stressful part of their workday.

So despite our best attempt to educate people on how to become good leaders, poor management practices do have a stronghold in corporate environments. Yet, toxic management and effective leadership are two sides of the same coin. That's why it's crucial to not only develop the skills that make one effective but also let go of the poor behaviors that make up a toxic manager.

Toxic managers exhibit a range of negative behaviors that undermine their team's trust and respect. They can belittle their team members, refuse to listen to feedback, micromanage, set unrealistic deadlines, take credit for something they didn’t contribute to and more. These behaviors often create a hostile work environment that can lead to high turnover rates, low morale, and a lack of trust.

On the other hand, effective leaders are able to create a positive work environment that is conducive to productivity, growth, and innovation where team members are motivated, listened to, given the support they need to collaborate and succeed. They communicate clearly and regularly with their team, actively seek feedback and involve their team in decision-making.

But how do you ascend from one to the other? Thanks to the latest installments in organizational research, and with the help of the best practices of social psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, NLP and more, I’ve put together two course that can help you either identify and address your toxic behaviors, or become an inspiring leader.
