In the article from Forbes notes that the goal of a leader is not to clone him/herself, but to harness individual strengths for the greater good of the organization. This is best accomplished by respecting individual talents; not stifling them.
Yet some folks just don’t want to follow. The article notes several tips for leading those who do not want to follow: (1) be consistent, (2) the importance factor, (3) make respect a priority, (4) define acceptable behavior, (5) hit conflict head-on, (6) understanding the WIIFM factor, (7) view conflict as an opportunity, and (8) clarity of purpose.
The article ends with this quote “It’s important to remember that a manager exists when the company says so, but that said manager only really becomes a leader when their team says so”.
Do you agree with this statement?

Case 7 of the textbook examines the rise of Wal-Mart as a corporate bohemoth. One of the things often said of Wal-Mart is that it destroys 'Mom and Pop' business along Main Street given its size and ability to undercut competitors on pricing. Wal-Mart's founder believed that everyone should have access to low prices, but those low prices at scale often creates wider economic consequences. If you owned a small department store in a neighborhood where Wal-Mart was entering, how would you address these wider concerns to stay competitive? Do you think your store could survive? |
