Last week, we saw some good examples of thinking and decision making that brought success to organizations. Our reading this week discusses the opposite kind of leader, revealing negative characteristics of a manager. High egos, hubris, criticism, intense arguing and criticism can be strong obstacles. Trying to make good decisions in this kind of environment, especially in groups, can be complicated. Think about the the repercussions of these factors in an organization, such as hurt feelings and people who will not work together again. Have you ever had a manager like this? Then you know if it motivated you to be a team player-or not.

As you will read, the media can create an image of leaders, such as CEOs, as smarter than they really are. Writers do this for different motives, such as for a good story or to make the CEOs seem more valuable to their corporations. These executives can become egotistical and raise the cost of a company acquisition to more than its true value. What does our reading recommend to deal with these problems? What would you do? How would you, as a manager, deal with these problems with other people? What is a problem that you experienced with a manager? How should this leader have dealt with this and why?

One of our verses from our reading this week is from Timothy II. Chapter 4 certainly discourages high egos and arguing. The 18th verse, says “And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever.” Thus, you can learn this week that using our decision aids can demise the disagreements and resolve the problem with the best decision!
