Identifying leadership failure early can mitigate long-term damage. Some signs to watch for include:
- Declining Employee Morale: A sudden drop in employee satisfaction can indicate a disconnect between leadership and the workforce. - Increased Turnover: High turnover rates can signal that employees are unhappy with the leadership. - Poor Performance Metrics: Consistently missing targets and poor financial performance can be a direct result of ineffective leadership. - Lack of Innovation: If the company is falling behind in adopting new technologies or innovations, it may be due to leadership’s resistance to change.
