In this episode, Rachel and Stuart discuss what Stuart has termed as the Dominion style of management and how it can have potentially devastating consequences on an organization.
Key Moments:
- Stuart explains two other management styles--"Us vs Them" and "Hero"--and how they combine to form the major elements and characteristics of the Dominion style
- Name dropping includes: Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Abercrombie & Finch, and Marvel Comics (no, they were not Dominion managers or companies with a particular problem with the Dominion style)
- Rachel ponders: How enthused must a manager be when presenting to their employees a directive from higher-ups that they do not agree with?
- Stuart explains why identifying the Dominion style of management matters and how choosing to ignore it comes at your own peril
- And, finally, Stuart discusses what measures can be taken to mitigate and disrupt the Dominion Style
