Sharone Bar-David: Abrasive Leaders

Sharone Bar-David is the author of Trust Your Canary: Every Leader’s Guide to Taming Workplace Incivility* and president at Bar-David Consulting, a company offering solutions for creating a respectful workplace and rehabilitating abrasive leaders.

Key Points
  • Abrasive leaders often don’t realize how they’re acting, or if they do, they don’t realize the negative affects.
  • One of the greatest myths is that you can’t do without someone — everyone is replaceable.
  • The three steps of SBD:
    1. State the Expectation – What values or behavior you expect?
    2. Behavior – What are the behaviors that are of concern?
    3. Desired Behavior – How do you want the person to act?
    4. 360 reviews are good for diagnosing a problem with an abrasive leader, but not for solving it.
