Over the past couple of months, there have been several high-profile CEOs across different industries whose actions and words demonstrate a firm belief in the command-and-control approach to leadership.
That leaders can simply issue declarations of 'how things work around here' without so much as an explanation or giving space for employees to share their concerns.
But is this really the most effective and successful way to lead organizations in today’s uncertain and increasingly fragmented world? Is this truly the best way for our organization’s long-term prosperity? Or is that longevity being cast aside in favour of short term gains and ‘shiny object’ wins?
In this edition of my “Leadership Espresso Shot” series, I wanted to address this growing perception around what it means to lead because the acceptance of such outdated attitudes around leadership will adversely impact the competitiveness of many organizations who choose this easy path over doing what's necessary to evolve and grow.
