Autocratic Democratic Anarchistic Meritocracy

What would be the best leadership style in the universe of Dr Seuss?

Col suggests an Autocratic Democratic Anarchistic Meritocracy.

To be fair, he started a reasoned and interesting conversation about combining systems of governance into your approach as a leader.

The Dr Suess bit was me.

I later noticed a further similarity with John Travolta’s lines before he launches into “Greased Lightning” in the musical Grease (this car could be systematic, hydromatic, ultramatic). Important stuff.

I digress.

Winston Churchill once said democracy is the worst form of Government, except for all the others. At a societal level he's absolutely right.

In smaller groups, democracy is not necessarily the ideal structure of governance. Especially if you hope to foster some of the most admirable aspects of human psychology; curiosity, courage, innovation, etc.

In this week's Fink Tank, Col and I discuss the intricacies of various styles of leadership, and reach little in the way of firm conclusions.

What would bring out the best in Sam-I-Am, The Lorax, and Marvin K Mooney?
