Blog #2 - How *not* to lead?

Michael Scott is a perfect example of how not to lead a group of people. Although I know this blog post was supposed to show a clip and how they show the leadership qualities from the Relational Leadership Model but I thought I'd spin it to how exactly a person should not lead. 

Starting with inclusive, Michael shows it countless times in this one clip of him yelling at Toby and saying how much he hates him which is the exact opposite of how one should handle a situation. Toby even is scared to talk because he knows what Michaels reaction will be.

Now with empowering, he tries to empower the office to lose more weight by wearing a fat suit and in turn making fun of people of higher weight. Another perfect example as to how not to empower a group of people.

Next comes ethical, he constantly gets into everybody's face and tries to have fun when in an office you should probably be more business-like and focus on the company's goals. He is very good at having very poor ethics by either being mean or just never focusing.

Lastly we have purpose, his purpose is great for TV but not really in a practical sense. His purpose is to constantly distract his workers from their goals and to remove their focus from what they should be doing, work.
