I'm now listening to the audio book Leading with Kindness by Bill Baker and Michael O'Malley. I am very impressed with their assessment of leadership, which is a word they use interchangeably with management.
They actually believe and can support the notion that good leaders can be both well-liked and respected! They talk about the ideal workplace, where employees are treated like individuals, and are encouraged to make choices that are good for the company as well as themselves. Can you imagine such a place?
They mention Donald Trump and the changing roles of managers as we change to a more service-oriented society. Although we may have enjoyed watching The Apprentice, it's for sure we wouldn't want to work for a manager like that.
