Accidental Leader What to Do When You’re Suddenly in Charge

Posted by Bunseth Lik On 3:06 AM 0 comments

Let’s be honest about this: Most accidental leaders have a pretty rocky time of it. Many of them freak out, change their styles all around, try desperately to hide their managerial weaknesses, and generally come across as nervous, not-readyfor- prime-time wrecks. The costs of this rockiness are huge: Lost time for the company or project, which translates to missed opportunities • Bewildered colleagues who wonder why you don’t just tell them what to do • And toasted careers for the leaders who couldn’t lead (because when they fail, they don’t usually slink back to their earlier positions—they’re often through with the organization forever)
