People in organisations, many a times are able to worm their way up to the top. Sychofanchy may be a route for the weak follower to climb the top under a self -centered leader who chooses his personal support, comfort and security at the cost of organisational culture and success.
The unintended consequences of such a leader reaching the top is rejection from his own team who may have seen him squirm up to the Boss for growth. They now believe that to be the organisational way-forward and start indulging in the same practices.
Culture deteriorates, Engagement flops, Employee Connections fail, strategic business success comes to a slow decline.
Call out the sychofant but before that call out the boss who not only tolerates it but further supports this rate of enterprise Culture.
