Thinking about losing your entire team?
Here are a few tips and tricks to get you started.
If your goal is to lose credibility, frustrate people, and quietly drain trust from the room, here’s a pretty effective formula:
• Show up late or do not show up at all
• Be distracted or at least look distracted
• Avoid eye contact like it is part of the plan
• Be disingenuous
• Gossip instead of leading
• Hold meetings where nothing gets accomplished
• Be overtly dismissive of feedback
• Do not follow up
• Take credit and give none
• Make sure expectations are never clear
It is a surprisingly effective playbook if your end goal is confusion, misalignment, and a team that no longer wants to follow you anywhere.
Leadership is not just about making decisions. It is about how those decisions are communicated, owned, and followed through.
People remember how you handled the moment.
And if you would actually like to keep your team... just do the opposite.
