7 Reasons Leaders Fail : Unhappy Work Relationships

Blogs and blogging Work Leadership Trackbacks (0)

A recent article published in American Psychologist beautifully explains why so many people experience their managers as piping hot geysers of stress (Vugt, Hogan & Kaiser, 2008). What emerges is that bosses aren't inherently bad people (mostly), but that the modern culture of work sets them up to fail. Here are the seven main reasons I've picked out from this article for why leaders fail:

1. Strict hierarchies.

2. Poor decision-making.

3. Huge pay differentials.

4. Impossible standards for leaders.

5. Climb the greasy pole.

6. Psychology of followership?

7. Alienation.

How To Improve Your Self-Control

Blogs and blogging Self-help Self-control Trackbacks (0)
"It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back." ~Mick Jagger

New research suggests self-control can be improved using abstract reasoning.

Temptation comes in many forms, often so potent, so animal, that it seems impossible to resist. Eating too much, drinking too much, spending too much or letting the heart rule the head. We get instant messages from deep in the gut that resonate through the mind, trying to dictate our behaviour.

This post covers:

  1. Evidence that abstract thinking improves self-control.
  2. How personality and the situation affect self-control.
  3. How to improve your self-control.
