Big Shoes to Fill
Unfortunately, a highly charismatic leader who has everything at hand, a bigger role that makes her/him have more presence than the company, happens frequently. Without having a new products on the street, the company needed a big change after all, and Jack should be aware of this a long time ago, so this kind of management style and behavior shows that the company really needs fresh blood, even though he’s now dead or the company is going down.
But when bad times came to the company, a the leader pass away and the company started to wane, there’s no better opportunity for a symbolic and transformation leader, a true leader that sees everything from everywhere, pulling all aside, while remaining true to her/himself.
Innostat was a lone warrior with Jack Donally on his head, but when this situations happens through the years, it can start to strangle the company’s innovation, due on that any attempt on changing something, has to go through her/him, and with this kind of decisions and maneuvers, the people can lose their creative spirit and focus.
Stephanie Fortas needs to be a symbolic and transformational leader. The company doesn’t need another Steve Jobs, who leads and directs his own company, they need a 360 degree change, and by the reading, I am convinced that she has the power to manage in this direction, but my very personal recommendation is to have the symbolic frame at top, not forgetting the rest ones. Her coach, Teddy Adler tells her that the company doesn’t need her, but I want to believe that the way it showed at the lecture it seems more than a tricky comment to her, trying to push her on the leading company’s way, the company needs a new model, and she has the background, needs new products, and she will have the opportunity to let the people explode their creativities potential.
At the beginning, she will have to use her structural frame, based on that the first year will be a challenging start, so she will have to encourage the team to keep
