Leadership Development Feedback: How about the TV Writer’s strike?
Similarities:
1) TV executives lead the company & manage the employees, both
2) TV execs decide pay as leader & manager
3) TV execs make decisions about hiring & firing
4) TV execs make policy decisions
Differences:
1) Having a union strike shows that managing the writers does not necessarily show leadership of them
2) The strike shows the writers didn’t feel the execs had leadership authority over them.
3) The strike showed the writers felt more autonomy than being led by TV executives as leaders over them.
4) Good leaders would be able to discuss situations with employees & not have strikes
