Abstract

Perilous leaders can be too arrogant, dominant, suspicious, and/or chameleon to form respectful and trusting partnerships that thrive over time. Chronic discontent – or what I call “unrequited work” – diminishes their tolerance for the truth-seeking Pierre Brondeau, an exceptionally Remarkable leader, urges in the quote that opens this chapter (personal communication, February 14, 2010). Such truth-seeking necessitates the suspension of one’s ego and a willingness to be vulnerable. However, vulnerability exacerbates discontent and so it is fiercely defended against by most Perilous business executives.

Vorheriges Kapitel Managing a Remarkable Boss

Nächstes Kapitel Managing a Toxic Boss

It is important to note that not every Perilous leader can receive/accept the efforts others make to “manage” them. Many are too proud or arrogant to do so; however, among these, there may be some who will eventually unfreeze enough to be helped. There are others for whom any efforts to assist their being more effective will be experienced as intrusive and/or unnecessary and will, therefore, be rejected.

The phrase “psychological paychecks” refers to the verbal (nonmonetary) recognition and praise of employees’ successful efforts.

This is not to suggest that there aren’t times when the use of negative emotions is a good – and necessary – thing for leaders to do. For example, when employees have really not expended their best efforts despite the boss’s consistent and supportive direction, this can be a time for stern and direct admonishment and expression of disappointment.
