Overview: From the executive summary: ‘The danger in the leader-follower relationship is the assumption that the leader’s interpretation must dominate. If the assumption exists on the part of either the leader or the follower, both are at risk. The leader’s openness will diminish. Followers will easily lose their unique perspective and abandon healthy disagreement. Creativity and problem-solving processes become stifled. It is a primary duty of highly effective leaders to create an environment where support and challenge flourish in a balanced manner. Although, it may not be an easy task to speak up and challenge the leader, without the courage and skill to do so, corporate scandals will continue to occur. Thus, creating an environment of partnership as well as learning to provide candid feedback to the boss are skills, which are not often given high priority. Working with a neutral party such as an executive coach can help both leaders and followers develop abilities and become more courageous and effective.’ The paper explores this issue in detail.
