I’m asking because I’d like to find a team here that has good leadership where I can move. After two decades here and reflecting on my experiences, it’s abundantly clear that leadership is the most important factor in my satisfaction, engagement and quality of work.
In scanning the horizon from where I sit (CSBB), I don’t see a single leader I actively want to work for. This is a first for me. So tell me, fellow thelayoff aficionados…who do you see that possesses what the Harvard Business Review seems as the “8 Essential qualities of successful leaders”? I see many of these essentials as weak or completely lacking in most leaders I see. I’m most interested in number 8. Any empathetic leaders out there?
- Authenticity
- Curiosity
- Analytical prowess
- Adaptability
- Creativity
- Comfort with ambiguity
- Resilience
- Empathy
Do we have any unicorns around here?
