Can Followers Be Motivated By Leadership Styles? by ukpai4real: 5:55am On Jan 06, 2010
creating a Submissive Corporate Culture

“Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:22) This is exactly what companies are expecting from their followers. They are making their followers feel obligated to being loyal and have taken it out of context, just as readers of the cited scripture do. What happened to the rest of the scripture which states in Ephesians 5:21 “submit to one another out of reverence for Christ?” The command advises a two-way relationship and that part of the scripture appears to have been ignored. Companies that serve their followers will receive superior service from them if they cultivate a serving relationship.

How are results-oriented companies able to compete in a world full of results oriented businesses? They recruit followers as potential future leaders and direct them to be compliant toward a desired goal. The follower’s career path is based on the direction of the customer. The training plan is already created and the only thing the follower has to do is select “I commit” to the appropriate training plan. The follower either complies or doesn’t have a job with this type of company.

When the goal is to do what is best for the customer, the company conveys behaviors they require to achieve success in a high performance culture. This type of culture is one in which performance goals and commitments are blatantly clear. A high performance culture, according to Reid and Hubbell (March/April 2005), “is based on discipline. This discipline promotes decisiveness and standards of excellence and ensures direct accountability.” I currently work for an organization that cultivates a high performance culture. Each employee is provided with a two page template of performance goals. In previous organizations I’ve worked for, the leader would collaborate with me to determine my performance goals. In my current organization, my leader emailed me a mandatory set of goals for my review. I deleted those I didn’t agree with, put them in my final document and emailed the final document to her. Upon her receipt of my performance plan, she contacted me and stated that the goals were formatted so that they would fit neatly into my document. I was quite shocked by this. Where was the collaboration? Apparently this was a one-way relationship and I am expected to agree with the policies.
