No Change-Why Would You Expect It: Leadership Lessons Post-Election
I cannot imagine why anyone thought Obama would move more centrist after
the election? Why should he? From his authoritarian power perspective, he
got what he wanted. Why should he compromise just to strengthen our economy?
Is that even his goal? From his behavior, clearly not. In my behavioral science/leadership world,
we say that if there is a gap between word and deed, the deed is the truest measure. Remember what I said before: Leadership behavior reveals TRUE goals, not necessarily stated goals.
Unbelievable that the markets shot up on news of a minor deal with the major issues not addressed yet.
Short-term
traders, clearly. The long term risks have not been abated and are
growing. My colleagues who trade options are not touching this!
Remember the debt ceiling deal he had with Boehner for 800B$ of new revenue which we walked away from after it was agreed to, coming back with a demand for $1.2 Trillion in new revenue, a FIFTY percent increase? Not the behavioral pattern of a centrist. Brinkmanship with our nation's strength? No problem for
anyone who wants power more than our good.
Tragically the Republicans were not strong enough to combat the very nasty campaign
which was predictable from previous behavioral patterns. So we are headed towards the European model,
which as we see has failed in Europe. Their socialist path has created so much scarcity that they are
in a constant power struggle, who will have control over the banks, who will make the decisions, how will the profligate children be brought into line.
Germany with the most hardworking capitalist model is being punished the most severely, expected to rescue the profligates. Again my favorite Economist joke: "The problem with socialism is that you run out of other people's money." The illusion in the U.S. that Europe is more stable is just that. Nothing has changed...the serious problems are just delayed further, as here in the U.S. And I repeat: Any social system which punishes the best and incentivizes laziness will fail of its own economic weight. Only a vibrantly growing private sector can help the U.S. and Europe now. Where is the support for that? I don't see it. Big mistake in policy. Huge.
A colleague recently said to me, "I am tired of hanging back. Time for me to "man up" materially and spiritually." National leaders could benefit from his advice.
Despite all, wishing you peace and prosperity for the New Year.
Don't let DC stop you from reaching your goals.
I am even more determined to reach mine!

The Most Powerful Leadership Choice in Decades...the U.S. Presidential Election
Hello, Everyone,
As Europe hesitates and delays progress with its internal power struggles, inevitable with socialism as the more and less fiscally responsible countries try to find a fair solution when there really are none
due to the extremes of Greece, Spain, etc., I turn my attention to the U.S. election.
As the U. S. is increasingly vulnerable to the same issues as Europe due to the current administrations
ideology and authoritarian domestic leadership style, this election is the most important in a very long time.
As an expert in leadership styles, I found both debates to date to be very telling.
In the first, Obama was disengaged, unprepared, inarticulate and a clear loser. He did not care enough to prepare and is used to being the whole show, so his weakness in collaborative process was glaring. This is typical of authoritarians. Romney was the clear winner, strong, articulate, prepared, authoritative, presidential, powerful yet statesmanlike.
The V. P. debate was also revealing..Biden's rudeness, smirking, constant interrupting, was amazingly condescending and again, authoritarian, a national embarrassment. Not the least statesmanlike. As one commentator said, it is frightening to think of having his finger on the nuclear button! In 30 years of working with senior executives, I have never allowed this behavior in any of my client teams.
The only good thing about Biden's behavior is that so many women, one radio show host said, were switching to Romney/Ryan based on Biden's behavior. This is of course predictable, but clearly Biden did not care about the women's vote...a strategic error to be sure. The deeper issue though is how his behavior reveals his character.
I have wondered all along why they couldn't get things done in DC...it is of course up to the President to make sure that parties work together, the buck stops at the White House. Now I see why. Obama either does not care or lacks the skill in collaborative process. But even if he lacks the skill, he has access to experts if he really wants to lead and get things done.
The Libya situation, not taking briefings in person, just on paper and the lack of leadership--choosing to be the abdicrat-- with all energy campaigning also reveal character and priorities. The rest of the nation hangs in the balance, with even top CEOs afraid to commit to expenditures/investments due to fear. The recent market rally had little volume. Large firms are sitting on $1.7 trillion in cash! Investors are sitting on the sidelines. Small businesses cannot get funding....I have spoken to at least 10 this week!
Bottom Line: I have never seen so much fear, despair and frustration as I see expressed toward this administration in the business community....everyone I speak with is in fear or despair, and I gravitate to positive can-do professionals!
Wake up, America! We can still get back on track, although it will be challenging. Please vote for
the only candidate who has a clue about business and economic realities---with Romney and Ryan
we have a chance. Otherwise, our entire nation is at risk economically, psychologically and spiritually.

European crisis and the markets rally??? Really?
HI All,
Watching Europe and the markets' irrational exuberance after Draghi's offer, then of course all the ongoing power struggles between ECB, national leaders and the people rioting...This is all about who has the power (see my book on Leaders and Power below), and the markets keep reacting as if one leader's pronouncement will fix things. But the EU was put in place without sufficiently clear agreements on consequences, so now they are in the midst of a power and money crisis, PLUS having to build the car as they drive, while their people are rioting. And the markets rise? Really? They did finally come down a little, and a few Wall Street commentators do see the real picture.
Any short term fix will not fix the underlying "cultural" (read, behavioral) situation.
The real issue is that socialism creates immature dependencies and that since it is not economically viable, the rude awakening felt by the people is a demand on them to grow up and become more independent and self-sufficient. Work. Pay taxes. Don't expect to retire at 50. The basics of growing up. Here we see that old Psychosocial Maturation Stages Model I mentioned before:
Interdependence Highest
Independence
Counterdependence
Dependence. Lowest
The riots are counterdependent, of course, the upset of being yanked out of dependency. Adolescent rebellion. Expect more. Tough to give up the gravy train! But so much tougher to keep it!
Remember my favorite joke going around in Economist circles: "The problem with socialism is that
you run out of other people's money!!"
As I said in my last post, Germany, the best and most capitalistic, is being punished, and the profligate countries are being rewarded. Any social system which punishes the best will fail, as the worst performers will bring it down. USSR, anyone?
Growing up is tough, but without it, no nation can survive.
I have the same fears about the U.S. Frightening!
Europe could not be giving the world a more graphic lesson in the failure of socialism.
I pray that our own leaders....and voters in the U.S....wake up and see this in time!!
Peace and Prosperity to you all,
Dr. Linne

Did Draghi do everything needed as he promised?
HI Everyone,
OK it has been three weeks since Draghi said he would do whatever he could...now let's see...the next day Spain was making contingency plans in case it left the EU. Recently the head of the Dutch Socialist Party said the EU might break up...the Socialist party??!!! Finland is thinking of leaving the EU. And of course the Bundesbank objects to the ECB bond purchases as it should...Greece is having the next deadline with its usual financial crises.
What part of behavioral science don't they get, as they focus only on the financial aspects? This situation is totally backward. In any ethical responsible social system in which good results are desired over the long term, good behavior should be rewarded and bad irresponsible behavior should be punished. Rocket surgery this is not.
But in the EU so far it has been just the opposite. So-called "profligate countries" are being rewarded for bad behavior (except for minor sacrifices) and good countries--here, hardworking Germany--is expected to take the punishment for the behavior of the "bad" countries. Upside down and backwards from the behavior needed for desired results! Why should Germany be punished for its own good behavior?
Add to this that European banks are more leveraged and more thin on capital reserves than U.S. Banks, and this stew will not turn out to taste savory but bitter.
Any system in which the best are punished and the worst rewarded is not only unsustainable... it is sick!
Why? Because such a system incentivizes the worst behavior which will expand and choke out disincentivized good behavior and ultimately sink the entire system...like Communism in Russia
which I predicted years before the wall fell.
Again, my favorite now-tragic but real current Economist joke:
"The problem with socialism is that you run out of other people's money."
Wishing them all the best in Europe but fearing they have placed themselves in an impossible position.
Hoping and praying we can pull our own nation...the U.S. back from the perils of this brink also... we are at a crisis of trust in leaders due to the socialist policies here...I have never seen so many in fear and upset and despair as I have during this administration....
Peace and prosperity,
Dr. Linne

Obama's Leadership Style--An Unusual Combination!
This week I have been observing Obama's leadership style from the view of a leadership style expert for 30 years, Economist, Applied Behavioral Scientist and Change Leadership Expert, and it is fascinating.
At first during the 2008 campaign he came across as positive and collaborative, but something inside me didn't trust it.
Then when he came into office he showed up as an abdicrat, abdicating his promise and most important responsibility to create jobs.
Then his process for passing health care legislation was textbook authoritarian, crammed in at the last minute with only one visit to Republicans in which he mostly lectured. This has turned out to be his predominant style.
I have worked with many authoritarian leaders but have never seen this combination of abdicrat-authoritarian. And have never seen an authoritarian leader who could present as a collaborative leader.
Most unusual. And so are the results. Authoritarians create fear. Abdicrats create fear, anger, orphan syndrome, and divisiveness, all of which we are seeing hugely.
I have been seeing how much fear he has created in consumers, in CEO's, in small business owners, in investors. There is great fear in the land, more than I have ever seen, people are afraid to take a risk on anything. I wondered if any of the financial gurus saw it also...then yesterday on one of the business channels a guest commented on precisely this.
Talking with a colleague this morning, I mentioned to her how unusual it was for an authoritarian to present as any other style--usually they are blunt-and she mentioned he was raised by his grandmother in a time when women had to use indirect means to get what they want instead of asking directly. True? I don't know. But this I know..his psychology is harming us economically and badly, and this is in addition to his policies which also harm us. Make no mistake, the fear and lack of confidence are just as costly as the policies....please give thought to this!!!
Wishing you all peace and prosperity!

What You Say Is What You Get(R)--Leadership Culture, Corporate Culture and Political Leaders
HI Everyone,
So sorry for my silence, Cox employee error disabled my internet forever, they had a hard time figuring out how to fix it. Techno-nightmare. But I am back and I have things to say!!
Leadership is the cause and cure of everything! Someone told me this--very powerful.
Implications and follow-up to my latest book, From Old Power to New Power--Which Leaders Will Survive? Please see below.
Leaders face the toughest challenge ever--right now!!
What do you think about corporate leaders' awareness of the lessons from the economy?
Other than the traditional layoffs and cost-cutting, do you think leaders understand
the real meaning? What types of corporate culture are leaders building now? How well is that working?
Right now smart leaders are nervous because the ground is shifting
under their feet. Do they know why? The underlying cause of all this difficulty, with real unemployment beyond 20%? Do you? No, it's not just the greed.
It's all about how power is used--the Power Shift from Old to New Power. Old Power, my way or the highway, is under siege in the U.S., in business, in politics, at home, at work. Everywhere.
What does this mean? What is New Power? Positive collaborative, and open and inclusive. Highly skilled, not armchair psychology. The only form of leadership the best talent and Gens. X/Y will tolerate.
This creates a huge challenge for leaders steeped in Old Power, like Bob Nardelli of Home Depot and Chrysler, as Old Power leaders will harm their careers and take down companies.
Yes, Wall Street firms and GM too, all Old Power firms. In trouble if still alive.
This Power Shift affects all leaders. Whether you like it or not, it marches on.
And now it is hitting politics. Bayh stepping down. Palin stepping up. Brown winning Kennedy's longtime seat, a New Power leader in his position and process. Both traditional parties are of course Old Power. Tea Party members criticize both parties. Voters resent the back room deals and the lack of focus on jobs. Guess what this is about?
Not bi-partisanship. Not Democrats, not Republicans. It is about the Power Shift from Old to New Power. People are demanding it. From both parties. Obama is not focused on what matters most--jobs--he did so too little to late. He decided-Old Power--that the agenda was health care. Upset many, as he campaigned under a New Power image, which is why he won.
Old Power used internally in New Power countries will always cause disruption and backlash. They may not know this framework but those no longer supporting Obama
are reacting to how his administration has used power in ways that has not helped.
Specifics? Stay tuned....more coming on leadership power, culture and style.
Best,
Dr Linne
