Being an effective leader is far from easy. In fact, good leaders recognize that every day is an opportunity for either excellence or average performance. With so many factors at play each day, superior leaders realize that their behaviors have to be superior and fully aligned to high leverage leadership strategies. Otherwise, we fall prey to poor leadership and management behaviors.
This month, we featured the opposite of what great leaders do, so people would know what to avoid doing. Typically, you won’t find an explicit list like this in school leadership training seminars or classes, but our goal is to provide content for leaders who are striving to improve. Below are our five bad boss behaviors, and for this 302 Thoughts we take a deep dive into two of them.
#1 Micromanaging Your Team: Empowering leaders assign work and then follow up
#2 Withholding Information from Others: Communicate it right away
#3 Stealing Great Ideas: Give credit to innovative thinking, out-of-the-box idea sharing, and risk-taking
#4 Taking Credit for Supports or Success: Reduce “I” from your vocabulary and begin saying “we” more often
#5 Using Relationships to Leverage Power: Leaders must have people around them who can be honest and truthful
