What kind of leader are you?

A recent article from the Financial Times online discusses the end results of those leaders who lead based on intense fear while focusing only on bottom line results vs. those leaders who listen and encourage 2-way communication with their staff as a way to positively impact the bottom line.

Before reading the article, I would encourage you to be honest and think about the leader your staff sees day in and day out? Are you leading in a way that will generate short term success only to watch the success slowly fade away over time? Are you a leader who listens to your employees, encourages feedback, and understands the need to adapt your style and pull your foot off the gas from time to time? Need help identifying how best to lead your team or your organization into the next level of sustained, long term success?

Give us a call to see how we can help!
