The Harmful Effects of Absentee Leaders
Have you ever worked with a leader who is physically there, yet psychologically absent? Someone who avoids ownership, meaningful engagement, and shifts the blame to others? This type of leader can be difficult, if not impossible to please - slowly killing productivity and engagement in the workplace. While an absentee leader's behavior may not come across as toxic, it can be more harmful than it appears on the surface. Today, Janet discusses the impact of absentee leadership and how we can instead build a community of great leaders.
This episode addresses questions, such as:
- What are the characteristics of absentee leaders?
- How do organizations and teams usually cope with absentee leadership?
- Why should community members boldly draw attention to absentee leaders?
