Staff Want Decisive Leaders - Uncover the Truth
Results from the GLOBE study conducted in 62 countries across the world, including Australia, indicate overwhelming support for this claim.
It appears staff really do want to work for decisive leaders. This does not mean staff do not want to be included in decisions that affect them but rather that they:
-
Don’t handle the ambiguity associated with waiting for a decision to be made.
-
Look down upon bureaucratic procedures and structures that slow down decisions (especially in Australia).
-
Want decisions to be made quickly so they know where they stand and can move on.
