LEADERSHIP MANAGEMENT:
There are some guiding questions below that you can incorporate in your case analysis to help justify your arguments and articulate them succinctly.
Guiding questions
1. Simons in his 1995 Harvard Business Review Article proposed systems for managers to limit the negative consequences of providing autonomy to employees. Which of these systems worked well at Wells Fargo? Which did not? Why?
2. What is responsible leadership? Did Stumpf and Tolstedt demonstrate responsible leadership at Wells Fargo during the period of misconduct (2011-2015)?
3. What is ethical leadership and how does it differ from responsible leadership? Why is ethical leadership important? What are the qualities of an ethical leader? Were they present in the leadership of Wells Fargo during the period of misconduct?
4. Did the Board of Directors of Wells Fargo exercise effective oversight of the Bank’s senior management during the period of misconduct?
5. Why might the senior management of Wells Fargo have done what it did in aggressively implementing the “cross-sell” strategy? What plausible rationalizations could they have given for their conduct?
6. Schwartz in his 2013 Business Horizons article describes key elements needed to develop and sustain ethical corporate culture. Were these elements present at Wells Fargo during the period of misconduct?
7. What role did financial incentives and “quotas” play in the success of the “cross-sell” strategy at Wells Fargo? Evaluate whether Wells Fargo’s implementation of the “cross-sell” strategy was effective. What were the effects of implementation of the “cross sell” strategy on Wells Fargo’s internal and external stakeholders?
8. What changes should the new CEO (Tim Sloan) make to restore reputation of the Bank and continue the trajectory of improved financial performance?
