Needy People: Working Successfully with Control Freaks and Approval-holics
We all know them: the people who have an opinion on everything or those who don’t express any opinion at all; the leaders who believe they must be in control of every project, or those for whom every decision and every action is a test of their personal self-worth. These are the "Control Freaks" and "Approval-holics" in our organizations.
The session delves into the underlying reasons why people often behave in those ways. Suggested approaches for self-development and managing employees' control and approval needs will also be provided.
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- To "uncover" the myth of leader perfection.
-
To discover which tendency (control or approval) is more dominant and to learn how each affects trustworthiness and leadership.
-
To learn approaches to manage employees with high needs for control and approval.
