The culture of an organisation and the atmosphere of a team come from its leadership. But unfortunately not everyone is a born leader and not everyone who thinks they are a good leader really is.
- Micro managers can drain the initiative from a team and make people nervous about making decisions.
- Temperamental managers have people ducking for cover
- The “my best mate” managers can find dealing with poor performance difficult.
People can be trained to be better leaders and managers but often people are promoted into manager roles and left to sort it out for themselves.
