I'm referring more to people -- leaders in a position of power and influence over those below them, like a CEO or manager.
And the thought here is not novel -- it was taught to me as part of an Organizational Psychology class in b-school
One's ability to lead is only as good as their ability to get followers to follow their lead. Hence why so many people use fear to keep others in line -- it's the easiest and simple way to ensure compliance
- bradleyjg 6y agoIn Political Science, Neustadt’s seminal Presidential Power (1960) makes the point that the President’s power is mostly exercised through persuasion.
- jkhdigital 6y agoYes, because B-school is exactly where people learn to become good leaders... please, tell me more ;-)
- tomc1985 6y agoKnowledge-wise my BS in global business isn't worth the paper its printed on, but it keeps the "you have to have a degree" assholes at bay Considering that most b-school students go on to become MBAs, I would hope they teach some leadership skills
