I've never met a leader, including the bad ones, who did not exhibit superior skills in the area of attention to detail.
Similarly, leaders exhibit superior ability at accurately storing and later retrieving information in real time.
Linked to these skills, superior leaders have the ability to recognize patterns and identify both problems and opportunities when and where situations illustrate problem-patterns and opportunity-patterns...and leaders do this in real time.
Unfortunately, these skills confuse and even annoy followers. This is especially true when the leader's body language sends anything but positive signals. Of course, when body language is perceived as negative it is hard to engage and enthuse other people. But, when negative body language is coupled with superior attention to detail, capacity to store information, and capability to retrieve accurate information in real time the result can be damned annoying. At least, many if not most, followers of business leaders see it that way.
And, this is a common problem in business.
In business, many followers are intimidated by leaders' skills...I mean the very strengths that helped bring the leader to the position of leader cause conflict between the leader and his/her followers.
It's a shame!
It's a shame that many leaders do not know they should control their body language in order to have a chance to use their key strengths.
It's a shame that many followers do not know they should forgive the leader's body language and allow all to gain advantage from fully using their leader's key talents.
On the other hand...it's a shame that can easily be converted from a lose-lose to a win-win.
