Some argue that there are many unethical, weak, vindictive, or inaccessible leaders out there and we should consider replacing them with machines. After all, isn’t leadership all about getting things done as efficiently and fairly as possible? If we improve our processes and operations, we should be able to maximize employee productivity. Right? Wouldn’t it be better if we substituted human leaders with robots? We would not only have more streamlined operations, but we probably wouldn’t have inconsistencies in employees’ behaviors too. And come to think of it, aren’t humans incapable of being ethical, available, and positive leaders?
But is that all leadership is about? Really? Just ask anyone who works for a leader and they will tell you it’s about much more than efficiency. They will also tell you that when they’ve worked for a positive, ethical, authentic leader, it was one of the most meaningful work experiences in their lives.
