Leadosophy: Episode 54 - "A Leader's Likability Factor: Is It Real?"
Episode 54 Does it matter if you're liked as a leader? This question can spark debates. How much focus should a leader place on being liked? What are the angel and devil effects, and do they apply to how followers perceive the actions and decisions of leaders? If a leader is not concerned with being liked, does it follow that they will lead like a tyrant? We'll examine questions like these and more as well as dive briefly into a Harvard Business Review article and a book on critical thinking.
