Leadership for quality is essential today to achieve organizational excellence, stability and success. According to Blades (2006), a good leader can lead an organization to ultimate success, while a bad leader can potentially cause an enterprise to fail. Quality leaders are good role models who display honorable character and value the organization's most important asset, the collection of people who possess diverse skills and talents needed to achieve goals effectively. The intent of this document is to share a negative leadership experience and provide recommendations for correcting negative leadership. In the position of staff accountant, I worked for an organization in the healthcare industry. This non-profit organization employs over one hundred and thirty people and operates with twenty-one different departments. The top executives of the organization consist of a board of directors, the president and the CEO. The CEO is valued for his strong experience and skill in micromanaging people. The key leaders of this organization believe that the micromanagement leadership style will improve performance and achieve organizational excellence. However, micromanagement had a very negative effect. Managers in every department struggle to effectively lead and micromanage employees. “Micromanagement damages commitment, weakens the initiative of even motivated team members, undermines trust, quashes innovation, and pushes out top talent” (Earley, 2009, p. 5). The organization has too many bosses and close monitoring of employees makes them feel discouraged and unimportant, which promotes low productivity. Additionally, department managers are bitter because they are overwhelmed…half of paper…employees. Leaders should focus on their organization's valuable asset, the set of people who deliver on the organization's goals and vision. Quality leadership begins with an effective leader who leads by example with a strategic focus and determination that allows them to effectively connect with employees, build excellence, and achieve organizational stability and success.
