Leadership

Leadership

Leaders are partners who guide us through our challenges with instructions just like a mentor guiding the mentee. We know that leaders have many responsibilities to guide us and work together for a better future. Leadership can involve motivating and setting objectives so that people would not feel lost. Leaders identify the problems and produce solutions by thinking creatively as soon as possible. I would prefer a confident leader that can guide us through challenge. Aside from that, I hope that leaders are also to be open-minded so that they could accept others’ opinions. Patience and responsibility are also one of the important characteristics of leader so that they could guide us with caring and being more responsible for their work.

Leadership of Ray Kroc

-Democratic
Ray Kroc emphasize on the perspective and opinions of the employees. He created a suggestion box for employees and welcome everyone to voice out their opinions through the suggestion box. This would make the employees feel their acceptance and also strong sense of significant in in the corporate. 

Aside from using suggestion box, he also reward the employees with title even also for new employees. This could motivate the the employees with the sense of significant so that they could work well with helping the development of the corporate.

-Autocratic
Ray Kroc pleased that collecting new ideas from the employees. However, he will still consider different aspects for the benefits of corporate so that he will decide whether implement this idea or not. Based on these views, we can see that he is an autocratic and democratic leader.
