Hosted by Florence Foo, Head of HR Singapore & SEA, along with her team at BNP Paribas, WorkWell Leaders’ 18th Learning Session addressed the theme “Driving Relational Outcomes”. 25 senior HR and wellbeing heads discussed the challenging issue of tackling micro-cultures and leaders who do not always display positive behaviours when it comes to the wellbeing of their teams. In small group discussions, attendees identified less-than-ideal leadership traits, including being passive aggressive, clique building, self-serving or too focused on managing up and being non-constructive or disparaging in providing feedback. They then explored their experiences on how to intervene in such situations starting with articulating with clarity what the non-positive behaviours were for any given issue, approaching these difficult conversations in a way that matches the leader’s own style and having clear consequences for not being open to change.
