RICARDO SEMLER’S LEADERSHIP STYLEADVANTAGES

Semler's leadership style is quite modern and employee-oriented

It has a greater impact on the employees' daily work environment.

When you treat your employees like adults, they purely behave like adults and hence they become more productive and dedicated towards the work environment.

Semler allowed and encouraged the employees to evaluate themselves and their managers as well.

RICARDO SEMLER’S LEADERSHIP STYLEADVANTAGES

He introduced what might be considered as common sense

Where the employees have no specific dress codes and no specific work places, meaning there was no specific office-setting

With all these changes in place it is good to note that over the years the company grew significantly

Hence there was a positive realization of the company growth both in production and in acquisition.

RICARDO SEMLER’S LEADERSHIP STYLEDRAWBACKS

Freedom may be abused by some of the employees where they may abscond from duties

Due to lack of monitoring, some employees may lack guidance on how to perform various activities

This will render them to be ineffective and will cause them to fail in performing as per to the required standard

The critics of the system can also demoralize the employees, rendering them not to be effective.

RICARDO SEMLER’S LEADERSHIP STYLEPROBABLECHALLENGES

A manager who adopts a radically hands-off leadership style faces challenges as well as opportunities for managerial success

Radically hands-off, which means delegating just about everything to subordinates

A hands-off management style can empower employees to adapt quickly to changing business conditions

By using this style, a leader places a great amount of trust in the ability of employees and their dedication to the achievement of organizational goals.

RICARDO SEMLER’S LEADERSHIP STYLEPROBABLECHALLENGES

The efforts required to reach these goals may require a

willingness by employees to “go an extra mile” and to show a

high degree of devotion to the fulfillment of the leader’s vision

for the company.

A leader who uses the participative management approach should support training and development programs for employees in order to equip them for empowerment and leadership roles

This leader must be an individual who gives credits to those employees who are responsible for the successes of the organization

Moreover, a leader who adopts the participative management approach should recruit and train for diversity

The implications for training involve emphasis on situational and contingency models

RICARDO SEMLER’S LEADERSHIP STYLEHOW CHALLENGES ARE ADDRESSED

By hiring employees who supply required qualities and skills,

managers gain employees whose strengths complement the skills

and talents already present in the organization
