Baynard’s emphasis was not ruled by a passionate commitment to improve the organization. He lacked developing what is the described as the “Four Domains,” from the article, Defining the Leadership Code. These “domains” are encompassed within the “Five Essential Rules” which leaders must follow to be excellent. Also, when leaders help others follow and learn the same rules, the leadership buy-in grows from a personal concept to an organizational value. Baynard’s focus emphasized one element of leadership over the others; which ultimately was counterproductive to the basis of TQM program. (Ulrich, Smallwood & Sweetman).
Recommendations:
- Ryan should have been more reserved about thoughts he expressed to Baynard; regarding Ryan’s own mastery of the TQM concept (pg. 6). This could’ve set the wrong tone with Baynard; making him feel that Ryan thought he was the better leader.
- Ryan could seek a one on one with Baynard to discuss his concerns about the challenges with implementing the TQM program.
Ultimately, Ryan needs to look at other employment options. Ryan knows he and Baynard’s outlook are not in sync. Ryan’s will be a better fit with a company that promotes core values and ethical standards, similar to his own.
