You have a job for a lifetime, a job of a leader. Your heart and mind must focus on how you would handle the team. This will test your leadership skills and that you should be prepared. You want to take your organization to the next level of success and you also know that the potential is their, but you are slowly losing the support of your members.
Your members are one at a time leaving the organization because of your leadership strategy. They are hoping for an intelligent and a well - meaning leader that is willing to stand in the way of success. When you recognize or realized that someone is about to bail out, what would be your first move? How would you convince him/her to stay? What would be the best thing to do?
This happens in most places all around the world, it is a dilemma that most organizations are facing, and this is sometimes because the leader is doing the job for the wrong reasons. What would you do? Would you go for a heart to heart conversation? How would you resolve this kind of problem that has the potential to bring the organization down?
Some would say that the best option is to talk with to the person who is closest to the leader, a secretary perhaps? By this, it would be easy for him/her to approach the leader and tells him/her that something is wrong in a nice way. Another option would be to assume that he has leaders to report to him, these leaders can collect information through forms of letters and provide the top leader with the raw information, whether he accepts it or not is another question.
Some would also say that it would not be right to confront the leader, or goes to the office and tell the leader that they are wrong, who in the right mind would do that? There would be none. If there are any, he/she have the highest guts to do it. They say the best option would be, just leave the organization in a proper manner, sign a resignation letter and off you go.
Some also goes for a heart to heart conversation with their boss or leader, went on telling all his/her concerns, but results to a not so pretty ending. When a problem existed, the leader is often the cause of the problem but would not admit his/her mistake, but did not have the desire to fix it as well. As a result, all the employees in the organization left, because for the employees it was the best option to make.
When stubborn leaders are running the organization, expect your company would be on no good shape, depending on the situation. Usually, in situations like this, organizations ended up of becoming foreclosures.
