A second fatal error is **being overly supportive** when a more directive leadership approach is needed.

 

Analysis of several of our leadership groups shows that **57% of leaders** consistently undermanage unfavorable situations. 

 

**What does this mean?** Performance suffers, results decline and frustration lingers while employees wonder “why doesn’t management do something!”

 

These leaders are standing on the sidelines when they should be *directing the team.*

 

Don’t be like the **57% of overly supportive leaders** who make their employees feel like they are on a rudderless ship.
