Rich BaronMaikel Bailey
Rich Baron & Maikel Bailey

Episode Notes

Promoting poor leaders can devastate employee morale, trust, and productivity. Incompetent leadership breeds uncertainty, frustration, and disengagement, with employees doubting decisions, feeling unrecognized, and burning out under chaotic management. Research highlights the stark toll of ineffective leadership on satisfaction and stress, eroding trust and fostering toxic cultures where collaboration dies and top talent leaves. While inspiring leaders uphold morale even under pressure, poor leaders break the very spirit of their teams, threatening both the workforce and the organization's success.

Rich and Maikel discuss the impact on employee morale in part 2 of The Consequences of Promoting Poor Leaders on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
