Researchers have studied managerial derailment — or the dark side of leadership — for many years. The key derailment characteristics of bad managers are well documented and fall into three broad behavioral categories:<ul><li>“moving away behaviors,” which create distance from others through hyper-emotionality, diminished communication, and skepticism that erodes trust;</li><li>“moving against behaviors,” which overpower and manipulate people while aggrandizing the self;</li><li>“moving toward behaviors,” which include being ingratiating, overly conforming, and reluctant to take chances or stand up for one’s team. </li></ul>

Managerial Derailment

The popular media is full of examples of bad leaders in government, academia, and business with these characteristics. However, there is something arguably worse than an incompetent boss. It’s the manager that is not overtly misbehaving, nor is a ranting, narcissistic sociopath. Rather, they are a leader in title only — their role is leadership, but they provide none. That is an example of absentee leadership. Absentee leadership rarely comes up in today’s leadership or business literature, but research shows that it is the most common form of incompetent leadership.

Absentee Leadership

Absentee leaders are people in leadership roles who are psychologically absent from them. They were promoted into management, and enjoy the privileges and rewards of a leadership role, but avoid meaningful involvement with their teams. Absentee leadership resembles the concept of rent-seeking in economics — taking value out of an organization without putting value in. As such, they represent a special case of laissez-faire leadership, but one that is distinguished by its destructiveness.

Rent Seeking

Having a boss who lets you do as you please may sound ideal, especially if you are being bullied and micromanaged by your current boss. However, a 2015 survey of 1,000 working adults showed that 8 of the top 9 complaints about leaders concerned behaviors that were absent; employees were most concerned about what their bosses didn’t do. Clearly, from the employee’s perspective, absentee leadership is a significant problem, and it is even more troublesome than other, more overt forms of bad leadership.

We Hate What Our Bosses Don’t Do. Wait, What?

Research shows that being ignored by one’s boss is more alienating than being treated poorly. The impact of absentee leadership on job satisfaction outlasts the impact of both constructive and overtly destructive forms of leadership. Constructive leadership immediately improves job satisfaction, but the effects dwindle quickly. Destructive leadership immediately degrades job satisfaction, but the effects dissipate after about six months.

Destruction’s Lasting Power In Leadership

In contrast, the impact of absentee leadership takes longer to appear, but it degrades subordinates’ job satisfaction for at least two years. It also is related to a number of other negative outcomes for employees, like role ambiguity, health complaints, and increased bullying from team members. Absentee leadership creates employee stress, which can lead to poor employee health outcomes and talent drain, which then impact an organization’s bottom line.

Absence’s Lasting Power In Leadership

If absentee leadership is so destructive, why don’t we read more about it in the business literature?Organizations don’t confront absentee leaders because they have other managers whose behavior is more overtly destructive. Because absentee leaders don’t actively make trouble, their negative impact on organizations can be difficult to detect, and when it is detected, it often is considered a low-priority problem.

Is Absentee Leadership Really So Destructive?

Thus, absentee leaders are often silent organization killers. Left unchecked, absentee leaders clog an organization’s succession arteries, blocking potentially more effective people from moving into important roles while adding little to productivity. Absentee leaders rarely engage in unforgivable bouts of bad behavior, and are rarely the subject of ethics investigations resulting from employee hotline calls. As a result, their negative effect on organizations accumulates over time, largely unchecked.

Absentee Leaders: Silent Organization Killers

Both effective and destructive leaders are easy to spot once they are on the job. They also produce predictable organizational outcomes: Constructive leadership creates high engagement and productivity, while destructive leadership kills engagement and productivity. Absentee leaders, however, are usually and mostly invisible, because they specialize in flying under the radar by not doing anything that attracts attention. Nonetheless, the adhesiveness of their negative impact may be slowly harming the company.

Absentee Leaders: Silent And Invisible Killers

The war for leadership talent is real, and organizations with the best leaders will win. Reviewing your organization’s management positions for absentee leaders and doing something about them can improve your talent management arsenal. It’s likely that your competitors are overlooking this issue or choosing not to do anything about it. Doing nothing about absentee leaders is easy. Just ask any absentee leader.

Are You Doing Nothing About Those Who Are Doing Nothing?

People want leadership, Mr. President, and in the absence of genuine leadership, they’ll listen to anyone who steps up to the microphone. They want leadership. They’re so thirsty for it they’ll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there’s no water, they’ll drink the sand.

The popular media is full of examples of bad leaders. But the most common kind of incompetent leader actually isn’t the ranting, narcissistic sociopath that might immediately come to mind.

The Most Common Type of Incompetent Leader

We can't control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we react to it.

Be In Your Control 

It's better to focus on what you can control, rather than wasting energy on things you can't control.

What You Can Control 

There are always trade-offs when making decisions, and it's important to consider what you are willing to sacrifice.

Are You Ready To Sacrifice 

It's okay to feel negative emotions, but it's important to not get overwhelmed by them.

Beware Of Negative Thoughts 

You can't please everyone, and it's not worth trying to do so.

Don't Be A Pleaser

It's important to set boundaries and communicate your needs with others.

Have Values

It's okay to say "no" to things that don't align with your values or goals.

Learn To Say 

You don't have to have all the answers or be perfect. It's okay to ask for help or admit when you don't know something.

Nobody Is Perfect 

It's important to take care of yourself, both physically and mentally.

"You" Is All That Matters 

It's okay to change your mind and make adjustments to your priorities as you learn and grow.

#1 New York Times Bestseller Over 10 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

Consistent behavior = Habits.Everything big started small. Remember our vast universe originated when infinitesimal particles big banged. Behavior should be tiny and easy so that it can be performed and achieved consistently and develop into a habit.

Habit

The simpler and tiny a behavior , more likely it will happen and consistently it will develop into habit.Behavior (B) is sum of Motivation (M) , Ability (A) & Prompt (P).B=M+A+PWhen these 3 elements converge behavior happens.

Behavior (B)

The desire to perform can be termed as motivation.Motivation is essential and most important part of the behavior equation, however it is most unreliable.Motivation is complex, like a wave, which has peaks and lows. During peak of motivation, hard behavior can be achieved easily and during lows, even simple behavior seem like a daunting task.To achieve sustainable motivation, one should see benefits of the actions. One should set clear goals, tangible targets, and set tiny goal with is easily achieved. Achievement of goals led to positive reinforcement and provide motivation for bigger targets

Motivation (M)

Ability is most reliable and sustained part of the equation. Applying Pareto's principle 80% of time and energy shall be spent of developing abilities, for the behavior.Approaches to develop ability:-<ol><li>Upskilling</li><li>Getting additional tools and resources etc</li></ol>

Ability (A)

Prompts are invisible drivers of a behavior, they provide cues to perform the action.To build a habit one need to have consistent prompts to perform the necessary actions.Prompts are basically of three types:-<ol><li>Person: Someone telling to perform, hence Unreliable</li><li>Context: Taking environmental cues to perform , hence may be forced and stressful</li><li>Action: An existing behavior acting as a cue to remind to perform new behavior. Most reliable.</li></ol>Action Prompt, is better because one has to tap into the ecosystem of routines and put code things in right order to develop new behavior

Prompts (P)

A range of positive experiences can reinforce a new behavior, that led to habitual response.To develop a new habit breakdown it into MAP:-<ol><li>M: Set smaller, tangible, easy to achieve targets.</li><li>A: Focus on continuous upskilling.</li><li>P: Set new behavior cues inline with existing reliable habits.</li></ol>Continuous achieving set targets, releases dopamine, which positively reinforced the behavior. Similarly, bad habits can be reduced by breaking it into MAP components and targeting individual elements i.e. reducing motivation to perform, limiting resources and deleting cues for prompt.

Habits are not developed on own but cultivated overtime

Build long lasting habits by improving 1% everyday.

Fail Big

Success demands singleness of purpose.

Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus.You need to be doing fewer things for more effect instead of doing more things with side effects.

The ONE Thing

Getting extraordinary results is all about creating a domino effect in your life.The key is over time. Success is built sequentially. It’s one thing at a time.

The Domino Effect 

<ol><li>Everything Matters Equally</li><li>Multitasking</li><li>A Disciplined Life</li><li>Willpower Is Always on Will-Call</li><li>A Balanced Life</li><li>Big Is Bad</li></ol>

The Six Lies Between You and Success

The things which are most important don’t always scream the loudest.

When everything feels urgent and important, everything seems equal. We become active and busy, but this doesn’t actually move us any closer to success. Activity is often unrelated to productivity, and busyness rarely takes care of business.Instead of a to-do list, focus on a success list—a list that is purposefully created around extraordinary results.

Everything Matters Equally

When you try to do two things at once, you either can’t or won’t do either well.Every time you try to do two or more things at once, you’re simply dividing up our focus and dumbing down all of the outcomes in the process.Researchers estimate we lose 28 percent of an average workday to multitasking ineffectiveness.

Multitasking

You can become successful with less discipline than you think, for one simple reason: success is about doing the right thing, not about doing everything right.It takes an average of 66 days to acquire a new habit.Those with the right habits seem to do better than others. They’re doing the most important thing regularly and, as a result, everything else is easier.

A Disciplined Life

People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures.

Our purpose sets our priority and our priority determines the productivity our actions produce.To be financially wealthy you must have a purpose for your life. In other words, without purpose, you’ll never know when you have enough money, and you can never be financially wealthy.Happiness happens when you have a bigger purpose than having more fulfills, which is why we say happiness happens on the way to fulfillment.

Live with Purpose

<ol><li>Meditate and pray for spiritual energy </li><li>Eat right, exercise, and sleep sufficiently for physical energy</li><li>Hug, kiss, and laugh with loved ones for emotional energy</li><li>Set goals, plan, and calendar for mental energy</li><li>Time block your ONE Thing for business energy</li></ol>

The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking.

Do what you love and don’t settle for something else just because you “think” it’s good or others think it’s good. Be where you “should” be and do what you “should” do!

No matter how difficult the challenge is, always stay positive and believe in yourself.

This quote is a great reminder that we need to stay positive and believe in ourselves no matter our challenges. It’s easy to doubt ourselves, but we need to remember that we are capable of greatness.
