Home » Coaching for Abrasive Managers

An abrasive leader often possesses significant strengths, including technical expertise, a strong work ethic, and the ability to drive results.

However, their communication style can be perceived as disrespectful, straining relationships and hindering the development of a constructive workplace culture. In some cases, this can create a negative environment that increases turnover and prevents the organization from reaching its full potential.
