MP – APR 2024 – L2 – Q1 – CEO Leadership Failure and Change Management

Analyze a CEO's failed attempt to change company strategy, identifying leadership style, appropriate alternatives, people management skills, change strategies, board responsibilities, and sources of power.

Question

A new Chief Executive Officer of a ten-year-old company tried to change the strategic direction of the company that hired him. He failed in this endeavour and was fired just after one year on the job. “He thought he could change the company through intellect alone without moving people emotionally,” a Senior Manager at the company said. Another Senior Manager retorted, though he held periodic meetings with other Senior Management Staff on this subject matter, these meetings were times when he exhibited his domineering nature. “He made radical strategic changes without bothering to get support from the people who could help execute these changes”. A storm of e-mails from employees to the Board of Directors complained of his leadership style and the CEO was finally ousted. REQUIRED
