Value Decisions and Credibility
After several months of promoting a situational leadership training series and building his business around this model (high performance work teams), one of his key leaders walked away from the program.
This person had been previously promoted to a position based upon his technical acumen and the ability to get things done. The manager felt that this employee would be perfect for the training series.
Unfortunately the manager was wrong.
So now this well respected employee just completely destroyed the credibility of the program.
Should the manager take the position away from the employee (considering their was an underlying assumption that was communicated to the employee about completing the leadership series) or does he just ignore the behavior and go with the continued results…
Value Decisions are the hardest one to make… especially when those decisions can have a short term negative impact on the business results.
