Are leaders who push people to do their bidding demonstrating leadership?
Earlier this week, on my radio show Your Triple Bottom Line, I spoke to Michael Stallard, author of a fascinating book, Fired Up Or Burned Out, and we had this discussion around how leaders create a culture of empowerment in the organization.
I have been using the word ‘culture’ flippantly sometimes, implying that it is always a good thing, talking of highly engaged companies as having a robust culture. But they could have a robust negative culture as well. So I asked Michael how does a company such as Facebook, with such a strong, identifiable culture sustain something that was created when it was a 3-person company? Michael had a great response. You could either listen to the whole show here.
Or you could listen to a short a clip of that exchange, using the player below.
