  • Essay / Negative Leadership - 1123

    IntroductionLeaders in organizations around the world need to be aware of their own negative leadership behavior in order to improve and combat this problem. Most leaders have been promoted or hired into management positions because they are highly competent and have a proven track record (Brusman, 2011). Typically, negative leadership behavior is the result of poor communication skills and a lack of emotional intelligence on the part of the leader (Brusman, 2011). For a leader to improve their negative leadership behavior, they must realize that they made a mistake and work hard not to make the same mistake twice. The Experience In my current position as a technician for a large telecommunications company, I observe negative leadership behavior from my supervisor on a weekly basis. My supervisor holds team meetings once a week to discuss topics ranging from team productivity to our customer experience. Every week my supervisor gets extremely upset and tends to get angry and yell at our team when our team as a whole does not achieve a specific number of productivity points associated with a low repetition rate. Every week, my supervisor then threatens to revoke the company vehicle privilege of any member of our team who does not achieve productivity and does not repeat their numbers. This is a vicious cycle that I have observed every week since I joined my supervisor's team. Leadership Behavior Analysis My supervisor will never succeed in his management role because he loses his temper and yells at his employees regularly. Anytime the yelling is directed at a member of our team or any other team, the employee will lose all respect for their supervisor.
