Team dynamics change when the team manager is under pressure. And instead of autocratic bossing, a collaborative effort to bring cohesion and synergy with team members is the need of the hour!
People don’t leave companies, they leave bad bosses” remains a quote which is well read but never understood in its totality by organizations. With our blind race for increasing productivity, stress has surely gone up for every job role. Expectations from a human by a human have also gone up not just in organizations but also in our personal lives. It is amazing to see how the dynamics of a team changes when the team manager is under pressure. In such a situation, the manager reveals his true nature subconsciously by becoming either an autocratic boss or a transformational leader depending upon his emotional capabilities. Under pressure, it takes a single negative interaction among a manager and his team members which can push the team’s performance southwards. Most of the managers do not understand the fact that they are dealing with humans who possess a dynamic emotional background. Instead, they maneuver team members on a whim. This egoistic dimension of manager leads to autocratic bossing and it is this propensity, which digs the grave of an organization.
