Detoxifying Toxic Leaders

Why do we tolerate 'Toxic Leaders' when we turn a blind this type of behaviour is it because we have a fear of retribution, or do we lack integrity and courage to do the right thing. Patricia Wallington President of CIO Associates wrote - The poisonous leader is arrogant; in her mind, she is always right, and she takes input only from a limited group of yes-men and -women. Her chosen few get information, but no one else does, and so there is no discussion about the work being done

“Here's how it is, its my way, or its the highway, you choose ...”

Do you have a strategy ? ... How and when do you decide to stay or leave, confront the behaviour or lie low

Recognise the signs ....

• Self-centeredness. An employee is willing to harm others in order to come out on top.
• Messianic visions. The employee’s vision seems impossible to achieve, or she positions misguided actions as attempts to achieve a noble cause, and she won’t take advice.
• Arrogance. He displays disdain for others.
• Blame-shifting. I saw one executive order a "take no prisoners" approach to setting and enforcing a technology standard, then disavow the "noncollegial" style of his employee, leaving her to repair her reputation alone.

Short-circuiting Toxic Leaders Careers

Make your expectations for behavior clear to everyone in your organisation. Investigate low morale, and attack its causes. Ensure that performance reviews document toxic behavior, and make sure offenders know that mistreating others is going to short-circuit their careers. Promote and recognizs those leaders who demonstrate nontoxic behaviours. Set an example.

CEO Seven Year Itch

Leaders are always tested and scutinised in one way or another, whether its externally or internally by your team. Its really hard for leaders to get honest feedback when they are in a position of power. People look to leaders for cues. But not every leader in a new job is aware of the kind of signals they are sending off. One of the lessons to learn and learn fast is you're always sending a signal, and you better send the right ones. Most people who first become a boss make mistakes whether its through (failing at something, your thinking is blocked, or bad habits)it happens. Ask yourself this ... If you were applying for your job today. What are the strengths weaknesses opportunities and threats ...

“Would I be the right person. Would I Hire me today, do I have what it takes, what skills do I want, should I past the baton to someone else ...”

.... or hire somebody who can give me the skills I need, what would be the 10 things on my accomplish list be, what news ones

Personal or Strategic reinvention is a test, and you're self test is to ask yourself and be completely honest. If you screw up, be honest with yourself, don't deny the reality, face the reality. Being honest and admit you made a mistake. Why did I make that mistake! and how do I move on from here. Followers only follow by consent, you really cannot afford to push people, great leaders work to get people on their side.

If you've been in your role for a while, now is the time to reinvent yourself. Being the leader means never underestimating relationships you come into contact with, leaders want buy-in, to be bought into the process with Peers and Subordinates, so its not alright to assume because you're the boss that YOU ARE THE BOSS!. Shifting out of the pattern of the old way and moving forward with effectiveness, stand in front of your mirror and take the time for introspection.

Are you ready to change

I was recently asked to explain what hybrid coaching-consulting could offer, well at the root of (consulting & coaching) for change examines not only what one does, and why one does what one does, but who you are, and who you want to be. More so to change/learn, people need to embed new insights into deeper, often automatic, thinking processes. This requires them to pay attention to how they think as well as what they think. To change, people need to turn thought into action.

In theory learning will only last if the underlying emotional commitment is there – ‘do I really want to change?’ ‘what are the benefits for me?’ As people engage with new learning they will need to listen to their emotions and look at their attitudes, beliefs and values. Coaching is a powerful tool, that can help you crack open your most pivotal business issues and dilemmas, to achieve a breakthrough. The question is "are you ready to change ... "
