The Ripple Effect: Unveiling the Consequences of Vague Leadership

When leadership is missing and instructions or directions to people are given which are vague or not complete which is then followed by total lack of supervision or accountability good people will feel they have to fill in the blanks.

Sometimes the filling in of ‘the blanks’ will be sufficient enough to deal with the issues at hand. Sometimes, however, it will be a complete disaster and if left unchecked will manifest into a culture almost too difficult to identify and definitely difficult to reverse.

Define Leadership

Leadership is the act or process of guiding, inspiring, and influencing others to achieve a common goal or objective. It involves setting a direction, making decisions, motivating individuals or teams, and facilitating their growth and development. Effective leadership encompasses traits such as vision, integrity, empathy, communication skills, and the ability to make sound judgments and take calculated risks. A leader often provides guidance, support, and direction to individuals or groups, fostering an environment of collaboration and productivity.
