I forever have thought that most underlying problems are less about training and process and more about understanding of your role within a unit (I.e team, relationship or family) and the communication and respect that transpires. It’s a very difficult thing to teach.
This was really insightful, as someone interested in leadership. Also, very thought provoking. I see the parent-child dynamic that emerges in the workplace less as informed by parenting styles and more as informed by attachment theory and trauma projection. I've found this understanding has helped me to guide others to greater self-awareness and improved this dynamic. I'd like to think this would emerge as more of a co-active leadership style, depending on the unique needs of each direct report, but it sounds like that might be too idealistic on my part. I'd love to hear your thoughts. I can't wait to read more of these!
