Leaders Under Pressure

When the pressure is coming back on, many leaders revert to their old behaviours: Managing through authority, applying pressure, controlling and micro managing, etc... although they may have worked hard in the past on becoming better leaders and managers. Why is that?  Leadership coaches Frank Basinski and Brad Solomon are digging a bit deeper and expose the mechanism in our minds that are the cause of this reaction. They also explain the mind tools necessary to resist falling back into the old, unwanted and negative behaviours.    Frank Basinski: https://www.bluehorizontrainingro Brad Solomon: https://www.ctggroup.co
