Failure: The Impartial Executioner of Leaders, Followers, and Their Organisations with David Stehlik

In this episode I speak with Dr David Stehlik on leadership, followership and organisations. Dr Stehlik is the programme director for the Keith Bussey School of Business and entrepreneurial leadership at the University of St Francis in Fort Wayne in the US. He is also the the founder of a strategy and business education consultancy ‘Fourscene’ related to the field of strategic foresight. He is a strategist, an educator and team developer, he has also published a book called ‘Integrated delivery - innovating leadership for outstanding healthcare outcomes’ that was released at the beginning of 2021.

In this episode we speak about what constitutes ‘great leaders’, and then dissecting the antithesis of this in the anatomy of failing leaders. We also examine:

• Self-awareness and tools to help get there (SWOT analysis, Johari’s window)
• Great followers and failing followers
• The consequences model & Role-playing model & conflict resolution
• The AI model
• Great organisations & failing organisations
