I see a lot of companies on LinkedIn that are really struggling to find employees. Working in Human Resources I’ve discovered many times it is not job market, but the employer. There are some managers, and executives that have no business being around normal people because they create toxic environments for there employees and can ruin important business relationships. What is the point of hiring employees if they are not willing to invest time to grow them or the employee leaves because the work environment is so bad? I personally believe the most important factor in any successful company is the turn over. If the employer can’t keep staff it’s a big red flag for not only the employee but for anyone seeking to do businesses with that company. If they can’t solve their problems how will they solve yours?

Toxic leaders create an environment of fear, mistrust, and negativity. They often use intimidation tactics to control their employees and discourage them from speaking up or challenging their decisions. They also tend to be overly critical and micromanage their employees, which can lead to burnout and low morale. To create a healthier work environment, toxic leaders should focus on building trust and respect with their employees. They should also be open to feedback and criticism, and be willing to listen to their employees’ ideas and concerns. Additionally, they should provide clear expectations and goals, and recognize and reward employees for their hard work. Finally, they should create an environment of collaboration and support, where employees feel comfortable expressing themselves and taking risks.

It takes poor leadership to ruin the efficiency and effectiveness of a well functioning team. I’m yet to come across a bad leader who led a team that didn’t end up miserable. And it begins with small things, small inconsiderable changes that create a hostile working environment. You cannot be a bad leader and expect a happy and productive team. If you’re in a leadership position I highly recommend taking self-awareness & emotional intelligence seriously. Read books, listen to podcasts, etc.

What not to do as a LEADER

Time to go through the list and be honest with yourself! But also remember, no one is perfect and if you do find yourself exhibiting any of these behaviors you can still correct course. 🔃 First step is to acknowledge it and then you can start working on changing the habit. Take a few hours to think about the core reason for your behaviour and then work on fixing the problem from there.

Well said Jonathan Javier💡 Toxic leadership not only hinders personal growth but also affects the entire team and organization negatively. It's crucial for organizations to foster a culture of trust, open communication, and empathy to ensure that leaders at all levels exhibit the right behaviors. Let's work together to promote positive leadership and create healthier workplaces for everyone. 👥💪

Typically when a poor leader is in place, you constantly have to replace employees.

🧠💡 - - -> Cliff Fadiman's insight underscores the importance of cultivating a discerning memory—one that selectively retains what truly matters. In a world filled with information, the ability to prioritize and remember the significant details is a valuable skill. As leaders, encourage your team to focus on the essential, to remember and prioritize what contributes to their growth and the success of the collective effort. Emphasize the importance of learning from experiences and retaining valuable insights while letting go of the trivial. In doing so, you foster a culture of efficiency, clarity, and a collective memory focused on what truly makes a difference. #MemoryPrioritization #FocusOnTheEssential #LeadershipMindset #MindsofDistinction
