Since retiring as an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeon in 2011, George Tkalych has spent his time enjoying his personal interests, which include scuba diving, fly fishing, and reading up on leadership literature. Leadership is a very interesting topic for him because he likes to study the lives of great leaders and how they have impacted the lives of people. From these studies, Tkalych has reasoned that there are areas where many leaders need to be aware of if they are to improve.

The majority of leadership literature focuses on the positive attributes that lead to effective leaders. That’s good, but what about the ineffective leaders who don’t recognize that they’re not so good leaders. The truth is that there are very top level people who have the moral courage to step up and tell the boss that they’re not effective in their work, a situation reminiscent of the Emperor’s New Clothes – no one had the courage to tell the leader that he was lousy.

To help, here are a few signs that can help leaders understand when they need to improve.

They only have one style of leadership

The demands placed on leaders can be sometimes overwhelming. They have to make the toughest calls, solve the controversial issues, make peace with the hardest customers, and oversee the trickiest issues. This variety of demands requires leaders to be flexible in their leadership approach. The best leaders, regardless of their dominant leadership style, should be able to transition from, for example, being a visionary leader to a directive or coaching one.

They motivate through fear

There are a number of ways to motivate followers. Good leaders can do this in a variety of ways, from encouraging a competitive spirit to appealing to a powerful emotion, for example. Bad leaders tend to motivate through fear, which is a gap in leadership that needs to be addressed.

They don’t give credit to others

Good leaders have the humility and willingness to give credit to others where it’s due and own to up to negative outcomes. Lousy leaders, on the other hand, tend to push others to the back and take the spotlight for themselves, often to their own undoing.
