Is There Autocracy in Snapchat’s Leadership?
How do prominent business or industry leaders choose to manage effectively?
Dictatorship probably isn’t the first thing that pops into one’s head when you think Snapchat. But I think there might be a case for it.
Before that, let’s warmup with some basics on leadership though.
42% of leaders fail during the first 18 months on the job (Nahavandi, A.)
While leaders don’t always get it right and while lower-level management sometimes appears superfluous to a business, competent leadership produces tangible results and possesses tangible qualities.
I think it’s important to think about leadership from a qualitative perspective at a minimum, both because of how common, important, yet vague leadership is as an abstract concept.
Give it a moment of thought.
When someone says “Sally is a better leader than Bryan,” or “I hear Mike is one of the best guys to work under,” how do we better conceptualize what they mean beyond our general impressions and intuition.
