The author of this article argues that too many business leaders are acting like it's 1922, not 2022 when it comes to managing their people.Summary
This article by Bryce Hoffman, writing for Forbes, makes the following points:
- Elon Musk is an example of dictatorial leadership; because he ordered his employees to return to the office and assembly lines in defiance of public health orders.
- A dictatorial approach doesn't work anymore—it probably never did.
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower stated: 'You do not lead by hitting people over the head'. That's assault, not leadership.
- Businesses should have learned from the so-called, Covid-inspired Great Resignation—that most employees are no longer willing to put up with dictatorial leadership.
