The Tragic Cost of Toxic Leadership: How Micromanagement and Lack of Trust Are Driving Away Your Best Employees, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD
Abstract: This article explores how pervasive issues like micromanagement and lack of trust are inadvertently driving top talent away from organizations. The article argues that toxic leadership behaviors that undermine employee performance, engagement, and retention are commonly harming businesses. Two such behaviors, micromanagement and lack of trust, are examined in depth. Examples are provided of how micromanagement stifles initiative and innovation while lack of trust becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. However, the article offers a solution in the form of building a culture of empowerment, trust, care, transparency, accountability, coaching and flexibility. When leaders genuinely care about developing both people and outcomes, empower employees and embrace accountability over micromanagement, businesses can mitigate dysfunction and maximize human potential to retain top performers.
