My last article was about the destructive influence of toxic marauders, and today I want to explore a related phenomenon, tensions between levels in organisations. It’s tough when such relationships are made difficult by each cohort believing they’re “OK” while the others are “not OK”.
Inevitably, it’s a lose-lose scenario, as the negative attitudes on each side merely reinforce the other. This is unless interventions are introduced to align energy and reduce the inevitable waste that results from difficult relationships between higher and lower levels.
