TU Business Ethics Charismatic but Unbending Entrepreneurial Leaders Discussion
Question Description
Although no single set of traits identifies the ideal start-up leader, a demanding, driven nature is a fairly common characteristic. Consider these brief profiles of entrepreneurs: first, a profile on Walt Disney
(https://openstax.org/l/53WaltDisney) and then a profile on Steve Jobs (https://openstax.org/l/ 53SteveJobs) as well as this video showing a contrasting view from Kerrie Laird (https://openstax.org/l/
53KerrieLaird) at Vodafone.
After watching the videos, consider this thought experiment: Suppose the cult of the charismaticbut dogmaticentrepreneurial leader such as Walt Disney or Steve Jobs were replaced with one steeped in a commitment to employee empowerment that Kerrie Laird claims for Vodafone? Could this change the culture at start-ups? If it could, do you believe that change would be for the better or worse?
