Have you ever noticed how some teams don't hit their targets, despite having leaders who seem really supportive and caring? Or maybe you've seen situations where everyone seems happy, but the actual work results just aren't there? If these situations sound familiar, you're not alone, and we've got just the topic for you in our newest podcast episode - Unseen Barriers to Accountability Caused by Over-Nurturing Leaders.
In this episode, we're taking a close look at a trend where leaders, in their effort to avoid conflict and keep everyone (including themselves) comfortable, might actually be holding their teams back from achieving their best. We'll talk about what happens when leaders focus more on their team’s feelings, as well as being liked and avoiding tough conversations, rather than on setting clear goals and expectations.
Join us as we discuss real-life examples and share insights on how this well-intentioned approach can lead to a workplace where accountability is lost, and high performance is the exception, not the norm. This conversation is crucial for anyone who wants to understand the delicate balance between supporting and enabling their team.
Tune in to get practical advice on how leaders can foster an environment that values growth and accountability while still being supportive. Whether you're a leader yourself or part of a team, this episode will offer valuable perspectives on improving workplace dynamics and achieving better results.
