It’s easy
for leaders across organizations to have a blind spot regarding their
downstream impact: They may not have any advisors to give them feedback, and
their direct reports may silently defer to them. Chances are that they will
never let on, at least directly, to the disruptive effects of decisions,
initiatives, requests, and behavior. For the manager who regularly communicates
the belief that “my needs take priority over everyone else’s” problems may
occur. Employees can start to feel disrespected and become disgruntled. The
leader may become the butt of a few jokes around the office or, worse, set him
or herself up to be undermined by others as they disengage and fail to alert
the leader to possible trouble or even set the leader up for failure. No one
wants to work for a dictator, even a benevolent one.
