There are two types of leadership: fear-driven or authentically-led

Have you any idea what fear-based leadership is costing you?

Authentic, natural leadership promotes wealth through honesty, clear intention, openness, trust, respect, understanding and personal integrity, etc, etc.... That’s what we call sustainable.

Fear-driven leadership is counter-productive and totally unnecessary. It stands in the way of everything you really want. However, it is by far the most common. It is typically the ‘default’ mode when we get stressed. Its strategies (however subtle or disguised) are based on force, threat and intimidation – either outwardly towards others or inwardly on ourselves when we are frustrated. Although ‘normal’ and thus ‘acceptable’, fear-driven leadership is the highest financial, emotional and physical debit you’ll never see on the balance sheet.

Fear-driven  tools can be recognised by: ‘reasonableness’, rationalisation, deletion, distortion, generalisation and emotional manipulation.

Fear-driven leadership is costing you - large! It obliterates the soul of an organisation. And drains the life out of those who work for it.

Ironically, the source of fear does not even exist, it’s totally contrived! That’s what we call ‘unsustainable’!

We can help you transform fear from an insidious enemy into a life-affirming ally.
