Trauma Informed Leadership

Trauma Informed Leadership: A Needs Based Approach

Research on the impact of early adversity and developmental trauma has shown that attachment, self-regulation and skill development is affected, and this has a profound and widespread impact on children and youth. Increasingly, human resource teams and senior management are applying attachment theory to understand workplace relationships especially those between leaders and their direct reports. Internal working models developed in childhood through attachments with caregivers continue to influence behaviour in adulthood in both personal and workplace relationships. To provide effective leadership, leaders must understand issues such as staff “resistance” and “negativity” through a needs-based lens.
