Jealousy and poor performance are two challenges every leader faces in organizations. As a leader, you are attracted to providing more help to those who excel in their work as well as those who are poor performers. This creates a scenario where the average worker who is successful in performing his or her work within the standards of the written policy falls between the cracks, so to speak, often encouraging that person to be ignored by the leadership. Jealousy can arise from any of these three levels as leadership attempts to maintain an even keel in the overall performance of those under his or her charge.
What do you think is the most effective way a leader can assist subordinates in achieving their personal and organizational goals? How does a leader ensure that his or her leadership style encourages growth in all subordinates?
