I have had more bad leadership then good, but there was a lady that I reported to, and she was a good person. She was hard but fair, she was direct, firm and decisive. But she was respectful. She spoke to us, and asked about our lives and families. When she had to terminate people, she did it directly and professionally. When she had to enforce change, she sold us on it. She was a great leader and when the company was bought out, she had to let every one go; She asked us all to maintain professionalism until the end. And we did. We came in on time everyday. We worked, no one slacked. She was great.Chrishttp://costofwork.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068729084407027179.post-8029944133792129472011-08-15T09:06:40.249-04:002011-08-15T09:06:40.249-04:00Most of the lessons in leadership that have stayed...Most of the lessons in leadership that have stayed with me have been of the "don't do that" variety. I think good leaders have a few common traits (respect, compassion, empathy, drive) whil the bad ones are often poor leaders in their own special way.Dwane Layhttp://leanhrblog.com/noreply@blogger.com
