Posted by Criticizing Upper Management is tempting as a middle manager. Some middle managers and team leaders do this to make a bond with their crew. Making a bond with a victim mentality however is never an effective method of leadership. Such action sends three clear messages to the team:
- The organization can’t be trusted
- Management really is against the team
- Our team leader/manager is weak and powerless
These are not messages anyone wants to hear from a leader.
Two things are bad for the heart – running uphill and running down people. – Bernard Gimbel
Approaching the victim in someone else gives that person reason and excuse to remain a victim of the situation they are in. Bond instead with the their true selves, the self that is the Cause, the self that Acts on Purpose, and you will get from them their true value.
Victims can not be motivated. The victim mentality huddles together, instead of bonding together. They use others as shields, instead of extensions.
To lead is to see past the victim mentality and bond with the leader inside others.
