Resolving the Biggest Issue Affecting Leaders: Self-Protective Fears

This event initially aired on August 21, 2024. We are rebroadcasting it based on customer requests.

Some of the most common leadership issues include micromanagement, lack of vision, poor decision-making, ineffective communication, and resistance to change. Not only are these issues common, but they ultimately resign business units and entire organizations to mediocrity. Do you see any of these issues in your organization?

While these issues surely have arisen in your organization, here are two questions that are vital to consider:

1. Do you have a clear understanding of why leaders so commonly struggle with these issues?
2. And, do you know what to do about them?

In this webinar, Ryan Gottfredson, Ph.D., will identify the root of most leadership issues – the self-protective fears and insecurities leaders possess. For example, a central reason why leaders micromanage is that they are afraid of something not getting done right. A central reason why leaders aren’t more future-forward is that they are afraid of dropping the ball or not hitting certain benchmarks in the short term.

And more importantly, Ryan will discuss how you can help insecure leadership rise above their self-protective fears and insecurities so that they can transformationally become better leaders.

Here is why these two objectives are valuable: the fears and insecurities leaders possess ultimately put a ceiling on the effectiveness of the groups they lead. If we can help leaders rise above their fears and insecurities, we can dramatically elevate the effectiveness levels at which these groups operate at.
