Managing the Expectation of Benefits: The Mind of a Leader 1 (Enhanced DVD)

A leader must be seen as benevolent by his subjects. However, kindness can also be perceived as weakness. A generous leader also runs the risk of bankrupting the kingdom, by rewarding too many underserved benefits. The subjects must be made to expect less from the leader which is a difficult thing to do. While treating people kindly does motivate them to work harder, too much kindness can lead to a weak nation. Chapter 16 of The Prince examines the difficulty associated with being a kind leader. The head of the electronics giant Acer rings in on this subject, telling how he struggles to keep his employees motivated in the early years.
