Sharone Bar-David: Abrasive Leaders
Sharone Bar-David is the author of Trust Your Canary: Every Leader’s Guide to Taming Workplace Incivility* and president at Bar-David Consulting, a company offering solutions for creating a respectful workplace and rehabilitating abrasive leaders.
Key Points

Abrasive leaders often don’t realize how they’re acting, or if they do, they don’t realize the negative affects.
One of the greatest myths is that you can’t do without someone — everyone is replaceable.
The three steps of SBD:

State the Expectation - What values or behavior you expect?
Behavior - What are the behaviors that are of concern?
Desired Behavior - How do you want the person to act?


360 reviews are good for diagnosing a problem with an abrasive leader, but not for solving it.
