The health of your backbone is something most people rarely think about—until it demands their attention. That occurs when there is an unfortunate injury or when their back goes out and they suddenly decide it’s time to pay attention and give their backbone the care and maintenance it sorely needs.
The same can be said for the health and wellness of your organization’s leadership backbone. Your management team, from the front lines up to the executive team, is one of the most critical yet underappreciated parts of your organization. But it’s only when it breaks down, locks up, and doesn’t contribute what it should to the success of your organization that attention is directed there. That’s a major problem.
