'Above-the-Line' and 'Below-the-Line' Workplace Dynamics.

Dissatisfaction with the quality of working relationship between leaders and their colleagues continues to be the primary reason for executive derailment, staff turnover, loss of trust in leadership, workplace dissatisfaction and low employee engagement. Research into such matters has tended to focus more on the 'Above-the-Line' observable and measurable facets of executive behavior and has (seemingly) neglected the emotionally-grounded workplace dynamics and phenomena. This paper seeks to draw attention to the 'Below-the-Line' phenomena as one way of rectifying this imbalance and seeming neglect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
