When Our Leaders Let Us Down

How do we respond when our leaders fail and disappoint us?  Or when we let others down?


Year after year, we hear the same results from surveys and other research: people are dissatisfied or disengaged at work, and one big factor is that they're unhappy with their bosses.  So what can we do about this?  After all, each of us will experience disappointment in our leaders at some point... and we will let others down too.

This month, I've written a few reflections on the relationship between leaders and those we lead:
 
    How do we respond when our leaders fail or disappoint us?

  
 
We must see and hear the people we’re leading… even when they’re frustrated at us, or it feels unfair.
 

 
  Do we need to re-humanize the leaders and spokespeople in our lives?




And now, a question for you: what's the best advice you've heard about how to work with difficult leaders?  Please write back and let me know... I'd love to hear and learn from you.

Thanks for reading and for downloading my books, and I hope they are of service to you. Thank you for your passion and dedication in leadership, and God bless the important work you are doing!  I look forward to hearing from you.

Gratefully, Adrian
