How Poor Leadership Can Kill Productivity

How Poor Leadership Can Kill Productivity

Becoming a better leader doesn’t only benefit you, it also benefits your team and its overall productivity .

Strong leaders understand how to motivate their teams and how to properly allocate resources to be successful.

Poor leaders can sap motivation and drive from a team, and make them less likely to give their all in any given project.

If you want to get the most out of your organization, • You have to learn what drives each one of your key team members • And how to get them to work together as a cohesive unit

Poor leadership can be very destructive to your business and to the value of the products and services that you offer.

Productivity is directly tied to leadership

Your team’s productivity is directly impacted by your leadership.

A good leader, who understands each team members’ role and how to put them in a position to be successful, will likely see an increase in productivity over time.

But a poor leader who is constantly negative and uses fear, power or rage to drive results, will see team’s motivation and productivity drop over time.

Positive leadership inspires people by finding what drives them and helping them to become a proud member of something bigger than themselves.

Poor leaders can sap a team’s motivation

Have you ever been a part of a sports team with a bad coach?

Perhaps your bad coach never used positive reinforcement or always seemed to be in a bad mood.

This kind of leadership probably didn’t motivate you to give your best effort.

Poor leaders can destroy a team’s morale and limit their upside.

The misallocation of resources

Leadership is about empathy and motivation, but it is also about the

allocation of resources.

Good leaders understand what roles to put certain team members in, and which resources and tasks to put them in charge of.

A misallocation of resources can cause productivity problems even for a leader who understands how to motivate their team.

Take a note

Poor leadership often creates a sense of resentment that festers amongst a team.

It can lead to poor productivity, but also high turnover and other negative externalities

This can be avoided by improving your leadership skills and empathy as well as understand what motivates your team members.

Poor leadership is expensive and wastes time, money, effort, and resources.

That is why it is worth putting the effort in to become a better leader and to take the time to hire managers who share your work ethic and values.
