How could his leadership be improved?
If we want to talk about improvements to his leadership, I think we can basically sum it all up in one word: Humility. If only he had that little humility when leading, it would have caused that much of a difference. As a well accomplished man, with lots of achievements to back him up, Mr. Michael Eisner had grown from a man with nothing to a man with almost everything, and that included pride. And because of this pride, he eventually make grave mistake that resulted in his downfall. We will now look at the different point in time where the important decisions he make altered his fate, and how he could have changed all that with a different alternative.
Firstly, we should look at the point of time where the troubles all began. The first decision that actually set Mr. Michael Eisner’s fate off course was his and his board decision to enforce a mandatory retirement policy that would forced out Mr. Roy E. Disney. What went wrong with this decision was actually the fact that Mr. Roy E. Disney was a Director at Walt Disney Co. and he was actually the nephew of the late Walt Disney. Not only that, if we all can recall, it was actually with the support of Mr. Roy E. Disney and Stanly Gold, that Mr. Michael Eisner was offered the opportunity to become the Chairman of Walt Disney Co., his position then. On top of that, Mr. Michael Eisner was signed a deal that allows him to bring in with him a bunch of other talents, which will cost the company a huge sum of money then, considering the despairing state Walt Disney Co. was in, before Mr. Michael Eisner joined. All this leads us to understand that Mr. Michael Eisner was actually indebted to Mr. Roy E. Disney for his foresight in trusting and believing in him. However, what we see here now, was an ugly act of a person chopping off the very limbs that brought him to success. As a leader, he forgot one very important thing that is never to see your own followers as mere tools that are disposable once they have outlived their usefulness. I say this because the job of a leader, in the first place, was to lead its followers and make them believe they can do something and not to believe that they can do something then lead them. In Mr. Michael Eisner’s case, by firing Mr. Roy E. Disney, his roots for his success and a valuable follower, he had actually shot himself in his leg by portraying himself as a leader that makes use of his followers’ talents to bring him to success, and throw them away after they have outlived their usefulness. This is clear demonstration of a lack of understanding of true leadership and it would have actually causes the other followers to lose faith in him. How many people out there, would want to serve under a leader that will not hesitate to dispose of them once they have outlived their usefulness? With a lost of faith from his followers, Mr. Michael Eisner has actually lost his position as a leader.
What I’m actually suggesting here is that if only Mr. Michael Eisner had have a little more humility, and actually thought about his own roots instead of being blinded power, he would have not make a mistake any leader should not. Even as a leader, one must always be humble when they soar to great heights, because they must remember that it is with the power of his followers’ faith in him that enable him to soar that high. If a leader even lost that faith, he would eventually falls. That is with the case of Mr. Michael Eisner. However, making one mistake does not means the end if the leader is sincere about making it up for his mistake. This leads us to the second point of time which causes Mr. Michael Eisner’s downfall.
