Overcoming the Downside of Fear-Based Leadership

  • Summary

  • Fear-based leadership has long been a prevalent approach in many organizations. Whether it's driven by a desire for control or a belief that fear motivates performance, this leadership style can have damaging effects on both individuals and the overall culture of a company. So, how can emotional intelligence offer a solution to this pervasive issue?
    Fear-based leadership operates on the premise that creating a culture of fear and intimidation will drive results. Leaders who subscribe to this approach may resort to threats, micromanagement, and harsh criticism to maintain power and authority. However, research and experience have shown that this leadership style often leads to decreased productivity, low morale, and high turnover rates.
