Intervention – From Negative Impact to Constructive Leadership
An intervention is an extreme, serious action to improve a critical situation regarding “problem leaders”. Leadership effectiveness depends not just on ability to choose appropriate strategies, but to execute these in a way that has a positive impact on the bottom line and on the team. Problem leaders can sometimes be strong contributors, but people who do so in a way that damages their teams.
A recent Gallup poll of more than one million employees confirmed the number one reason people quit their jobs is “a bad boss”; and turnover is expensive! A successful intervention pays off in improved team morale, increased productivity and workforce stability.
The key objectives of the intervention lie in:
- Identifying limiting attitudes and behaviour, and on understanding the impact experienced by others
- Developing new constructive strategies and methods of self management
- Learning some useful leadership and communication skills and tools
- Integrating these and fine tuning them to ensure sustainability
