Leadership derailment largely depends upon two factors:

  • The perceptions of others about your performance which includes your relationship with them, and
  • Your contributions or results produced for the good of the organization

The first of the two is the most critical in terms of leadership derailment because a leader may have produced outstanding results, but if he/she has damaged relationships along the way, or has operated with a lack of integrity, derailment may be inevitable.

Some of the universal factors of leadership derailment are

  • Erosion or betrayal of trust
  • Failure to deliver and be accountable
  • Failure to adapt
  • Lack of courage and decisiveness
  • Creating or endorsing a dysfunctional work environment
  • Failure to develop people and organization
  • Lacks forward-looking and inspirational approach
  • Lack of objectivity and broad-mindedness
