Q.
Describe Ricardo Semler's leadership style. What do you think the advantages and drawbacks of his style might be?
1.
His leadership style shows how a business can run circles around competitors by rejecting the traditional 'carrot and stick' methods of incentives and controls and trusting in the creativity and ingenuity of the workforce. His approach harnesses the creative value of employees, leading to greater productivity and flexibility for managers and employees alike.

Semler's mission is to change the habits of thought that lead to rigid, and dehumanizing workplaces, into ones that create workplaces that are engaging productive ones, and which regard people as whole human beings, seeing life and work as interrelated in a mutual commitment.

His presentations are provocative, insightful and based on personal experiences as a CEO. His leadership example is a powerful catalyst for other leaders to explore fresh alternatives and to find creative solutions to modern management problems.

Only drawback that people must not take management as granted by absence of sticks and be demotivated in absence of carrots :)))

What challenges might a radically hand-off leader face?
Answer:
Leadership styles range from the radically hands-off, which means delegating just about everything to subordinates, to the completely hands-on, which means micromanaging even the smallest operational detail. Although a hands-off management style can empower employees to adapt quickly to changing business conditions, small and large businesses under such management can also veer off course and run into trouble.
Radically hands-off leadership can lead to organizational drift as departments and divisions lose focus without clear guidance from senior management. Businesses need strong leaders who communicate their priorities clearly and consistently. This is especially true
