What leadership style do you think is most appropriate given the situation you just described? Does this style match Chief Wearing’s? CASE S TUDYLeading a Police Force TransformationWhen Melvin Wearing obtained the Chief of Police position he had been dreaming offor 28 years, he stepped into a huge challenge. His predecessor had undermined thedepartment's credibility. Morale was terrible, and communication between the chief'soffice and the officers was often through union grievances.Wearing had previously been an assistant chief, and the other officers respectedhim and called him "compassionate," "humanistic," and "a source of inspiration andpride." On his first day, Wearing visited each of the day's four lineups (the roll call ofofficers that begins each shift), wearing his dress blues for the occasion. He wantedto show his pride in police work and support of the officers. He also clearly communi-cated to his officers that he did not want them to even think about messing around. Thiswas not just a matter of restoring the force's credibility; as the department's first Blackchief, he knew that he too would be under special scrutiny. He quickly moved to up-grade the department's technology, installed air conditioning and laptops in cruisers,and upgraded office equipment.Wearing also raised standards in the training academy and increased the depart-ment's diversity. By 2002, women and minorities made up 51 percent of New Haven'ssworn personnel, up from 24 percent in 1990. In 1997, New Haven logged 13,950major crimes; in 2001, the city had only 9,322. The department has even earned fournational and international awards for community policing. Chief Wearing understandsthat he has to keep making an impact: "The real challenge for me is to sustain this overa long period of time."78

The Civil Service Board in a midsize city in Indiana decided that a written exam should be given to all candidates for promotion to supervisor. A written test would assess mental skills and would open access to all personnel who wanted to apply for the position. The board believed a written exam for promotion would be completely fair and objective because it eliminated subjective judgements and personal favoritism regarding a candidate’s qualification. Maxine Othman, a manager of social service agency, loved to see her employees learn and grow to their full potential. When a rare opening for a supervising clerk occurred, Maxine quickly decided to give Sheryl Hines a shot at the job. Sheryl had been with the agency for seventeen years and had shown herself to be a true leader. Sheryl worked hard at becoming a good supervisor, just as she had always worked hard at being a top-notch clerk. She paid attention to the human aspects of employee problems and introduced modern management…

BACKGROUND When Jennifer Beall steps in front of a group and shares the CleanBeeBaby story, she almost imme-diately explains that she does not yet have children of her own. She says it unapologetically and with a grin—knowing that her audience often presumes parenthood for those at the helm of baby busi-nesses. In fact, it is the first indication that Beall has never been all that interested in building a small c o m p a ny.Upon receiving her MBA, Beall went back to Roll—continuing her full-time job as a consultant for 18 months. At the same time, “flying under the radar,” she began to proactively pursue launch of her own company. Many work days ended at 3 a.m., a sched-ule that took a toll on her energy and her relation-ships (“my boyfriend dumped me”). Those costs aside, her entrepreneurial efforts began paying off quickly and quite literally. She used the seed funds to purchase a van, first supplies, and the equipment needed to start a Los Angeles operation. Within four months of…
