You are a senior leader or human resource leader who knows you have to do something about the abrasive and disruptive conduct of a manager in your organization. You are hearing complaints from people about the manager’s destructive and toxic behaviors that are eroding trust, impacting employee performance and health, and may be creating an organizational liability.
You see the impact of the manager’s abrasive behavior in:
- Increased conflict and competition within work groups,
- Increase in sick leave and stress leave absences, transfer requests and turnover,
- More frequent grievance filings,
- Elevated legal or mediation costs,
- Shrinking productivity.
So how do you approach the problem?
According to research, leaders who behave abrasively often lack self-awareness, the ability to control their emotions, and lack effective management and positive people skills. The manager may not have received effective feedback or know what to do differently.
Our unique, evidence based coaching program gives managers the chance for professional development. In 6-8 coaching sessions, the manager learns, often for the first time, exactly what behaviors are creating high distress.
The manager is coached on how to respond with more effective behaviors and engages people with positive impact.
Everyone involved sees the benefits – the organization, the abrasive leader, the work unit, and, of course, you, who have the responsibility to do something about it.
