The Larger an Organization Gets…
Bad leadership is bad leadership. It’s usually easy to recognize.
It’s easier, however, to hide bad leadership in an organization, which isn’t growing. (I wrote recently that it’s easy to keep an organization small. Read that post HERE.)
The larger an organization becomes and the more growth, which occurs, the more bad leadership becomes apparent.
As an organization grows:
- More people ask questions and challenge the process…
- More decisions need to be made…
- More and better systems are needed…
- More people are required in the process…
- More leadership development is needed…
- More delegation and management is necessary…
- More responsibility is placed on leadership…
…and the better leadership must be.
Continuing to grow an organization requires a growing leader.
How are you growing as a leader?
What is your personal leadership development plan?
Opinion question: Do you think some organizations often outgrow a leader’s capacity to lead well? Have you seen this happen?
