Purpose
New competitors, stakeholder demands, customer expectations and other shifting requirements make the job of leading, at every level, more challenging than ever. Meeting these challenges by increasing the pressure on direct reports and demanding more from fewer employees results in unhealthy stress and reduced productivity. Research has even correlated an increased probability of heart attack with this type of leadership behavior. But what are the options? After all, who isn’t stressed? Evidence shows that managers, supervisors, team leaders, and organizations that learn how to share leadership responsibilities with employees are not only better suited to respond quickly to the challenges, threats and opportunities of a competitive marketplace, they also create healthier workplaces.
Managers, supervisors, team leaders, and organizations that learn how to share leadership responsibilities experience fewer stress related health problems. In addition to productivity health benefits, these leaders are also better suited to respond quickly to the market challenges, threats and opportunities.
