How to Handle a Rudderless Team And Increase Productivity!

Dec. 22, 2015 - PRLog -- Laura Stack, MBA, CPS, CPAE is less than a month from debuting her 7th book, Doing the Right Things Right: How the Effective Executive Spends Time. The book introduces the subject of 3T Leadership, however Stack’s latest blog teases the subject matter by addressing a common workplace problem - the absentee leader. The blog post is available here: http://theproductivitypro.com/blog/

“In large organizations, you'll find the occasional absentee leader—the manager or executive who, for some reason, doesn't act as a leader in anything but name, and may not even show up for work. Sometimes, this happens because they allow personal problems to derail their leadership duties temporarily; but some have a leadership style that's so hands-off their team barely remembers what they look like,” writes Stack.

A simple Google search of the term “failed leadership” unfortunately notates thousands of examples (and apologies) where leadership opportunities were missed in the corporate business world. And failed leadership often harms profit margins, company morale, and can even lead to a variety of liabilities.

“The blog post this week offers solutions to handling missing leaders. It also has insight on the politics of workplace dynamics and offers a word of caution when someone else steps up to the plate and is tempted to go over the MIA leader’s head. It’s a real world piece that can be appreciated by all team players,” said Stack.

Members of the media are invited to submit a story request to Laura Stack about this subject, and other matters of productivity, by contacting her media relations team at office@helenevece.com.
