From LILTDY chapter 2, the issue focused on
visible symbols and behaviors.
In class, we talked in groups what leaders
do. I came up with the president of “Gyouza no Oshou” comes to the company
earlier than any of the employees and clean the entrance of the company. I
thought that the leader being frank, and make a equal relationship with the
people who work for them is rare. (Well, maybe those leaders might not think
that they work for them. They might be thinking, “We work together as the
member of the company”. ) There were
other examples like this. One of the memorable behaviors Shackleton threw away
the gold sovereigns and kept the instrument.
The “right speech” was also memorable. I kind of
recalled Steve Jobs. He came back to Apple Co. after a few years, and did what
the company needed. He must have gave the “right speech”, and the right
behaviors that needed to build up the company once more. Although, I wonder who
makes the right speech in a community that hasn’t a leader, a community which coworkers
are all equal.
I don’t know if it this pic is right in
definition, but I kind of found it interesting, so…
Hi Maya,
