"In today’s society (and economy) we keep hearing over and over again about fraud and scandal but mostly it can all be linked to failed leadership. What is one time when a group leader, whether it be company management, a boss, coach, etc. failed to manage or lead and how did you as and individual deal with it and also as part of the group?" -JP
It's taken me so long to respond to this question because I find it difficult to think of a time to where a leader has failed to do their job. I'm still sitting here staring into space trying to remember experiences from college and high school that I could pull a good example from...
I don't have the best of memories so I honestly cannot think of a circumstance where I experienced this, although I'm sure it has occurred because things like that happen all of the time.
Since I can't think of a specific circumstance or time in my life, I will talk about how I would deal with it if it should happen in the future:
When a person fails as a leader, there is usually a reason behind it. Not everybody can make a good leader, some people make better followers. If that is the case, I think I would give the person a chance to own up to where they went wrong and give them the chance to switch roles and let someone else take over the leadership position (if circumstances allow). I would definitely talk to the person playing the role as a leader and let them know how I felt and if everyone in the group felt the same way I would speak for them as well. It is important to have a successful leader and if the person who is trying to lead is failing, it is even more important to call it out and correct it.
