Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

The 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' is so well known that the names of the characters are regularly used as verbal shorthand for a certain personality style.  The novella doesn’t take long to read and the writing style keeps the reader gripped, even though the mystery is somewhat lost as most readers know the outcome.

Unfortunately too many people who read the book identify the characters easily in their workplace – it’s their manager in action.

Managers are under pressure to perform and just as much pressure to be helpful and supportive of their teams and colleagues.  The two demands often cause conflict, and rather than balancing the two in a consistent and predictable management style, managers find themselves lurching between their Jekyll and Hyde styles with little in between.

Working with managers to help them take a more leadership based stance, encouraging ownership and earning time for strategic thinking, Predaptive has helped organisations to build both consistency and excellence in the management of their businesses, to talk about how we can help you to tame Mr Hyde please contact:
