Dr. Kristen hops on the blog to talk about why leadership is listening:
Leadership is listening, innovation, humility.
I read this article in the Athletic a few weeks ago and the section on Bill Belichick’s leadership style has been tumbling in my head ever since. In the article, he’s described as someone who:
- does not welcome new ideas
- is not interested innovation
- is not open to criticism of his system or ideas
- has lost a lot of key talent over the last several years
He’s one of the most high profile leaders in America, to be honest, and no shortage of air time has been spent on the sports networks about the Patriots fall to the bottom of the league.
If I could venture a guess – it probably has something to do with these things.
I hope your organization doesn’t look like the Patriots one sounds. Leadership is listening – listening to our employees, to their needs, and to the needs of the organization or culture.
