Defense Against the Dark Arts of Lousy Leadership: Verbal Attacks

Published: Sept. 19, 2019, 5:44 p.m.

As an effective leader, you put yourself out there. You take the heat that others throw your way because you know it comes with the territory. It\'s inevitable, as a leader, you will receive criticism. Never allow that reality to keep you from leading well. Sometimes the critiques will come from your rivals, sometimes your friends, and often from other leaders who are attempting to keep you at bay by outdated means.

\\n

Leading is a teaching profession, and in this episode are real-life examples of contempt-filled words spewed at leaders from across rooms or whispered into their ear. It may open your eyes, or perhaps you\'ll nod your head in agreement. The suggested responses to each statement are an attempt to provide a cathartic if not helpful retort to keep in mind, or under your breath, the next time you come across unsupportive people.
