Recommendation

Leaders think they must either be warm and fuzzy so employees like them, or ruthless and driven so employees fear them. Performance suffers when leaders worry more about losing friendships than achieving results. Conversely, leaders who focus solely on the bottom line cause low morale, employee burnout and high turnover. Dr. Tasha Eurich, an organizational psychologist, shows leaders how to balance the needs of their people with company performance goals and how to “be human and drive performance, be helpful and drive responsibility, be thankful and drive improvement,” and “be happy and drive productivity.” Eurich deliberately treads quite familiar territory, but she provides quite useful advice on being a more effective, “bankable leader.” getAbstract recommends her guidance to anyone, at whatever level, who supervises others.

To counteract fear, build trust.
