Ineffectual leadership

Sometimes organisations can have such weak leadership of people that those at the operative level are effectively telling those at director level what to do. In other words the junior employees are being allowed to perpetuate outdated, destructive ways of behaving and working because no one knows how to deal with the human issues involved.

This doesn’t happen on purpose of course; it builds up after years and years of neglect. It is most common in traditional, long established industries. Often it isn’t the people themselves who are to blame. After all, if a ‘supervisor’ of twenty five years standing, looking after four men, has never had one days supervisory training, what do you expect?
