Yes, I do see many problems arising from the overly aggressive and abrasive leader. I think it is a situation that is gaining attention because competition is forcing corporations to carefully examine their management methods. An abrasive leadership style just doesn't get the results in today's workplace that the partnership approach does. In order for overly aggressive leaders to change, they must be willing to get written and verbal feedback as well as coaching. They have to be committed to changing and improving.
Feedback is necessary for growth and smart executives are embracing the value it has to offer.
Another way is to bring the whole organizations together through the use of communications tools such as TV, satellite and computer networks. It also helps them feel connected to the inner life of the organization, and it pays off as far as people feeling involved and having a sense of ownership. It also makes their jobs meaningful in the context of the overall, big corporate picture and helps create leadership awareness at all levels of the organization. A company must also put a priority on leadership education and development. It takes training and on-going development.
