" Is it time for Mutiny ? " by Patrick French
" A change of guard " by Patrick Murphy . ET. 12.April.2013.Friday
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Perhaps you have dreamed of mutiny. Perhaps you serve under a boss, whose grasp of what is important to the organization's success and ow to achieve it - is so shaky, that he or she should be dispatched as an incompetenet. Or, may be that, leader's treatment of subordinates os so uncaring - as to be abusive.
When do mutniies acually succeed ? Interestingly, we find that, mutinies go differently fo different kinds of bad leaders ! When leaders are technically weak, for example, but well-liked, members depose them via fast, tactical mutinies.
Members depose technically and functionally efficient but not well-liked leaders with careful, strategic mutinies.
When leaders' actions threaten the values the members share, an organisation becomes a social powder keg ...
In a modern organisation, an assault on a work group's shared values more liekly threatens higher0order needs for meaning and esteem. Because , a mutiny requires a coordinated, energised action, the role of the ringleader is essential. Inspiring ring leaders are as vital to teh mutinies as founders are to the entrepreneurial ventures.
