Fighting leaders go un-noticed in corporate

Do lion and tiger co-exist in a forest ecosystem?  As on the date, no habitat is known to have both tiger and lion living together.  Perhaps, they would have co-existed, which is highly speculative.

Another interesting question is that who outnumber whom i.e. lion are more in numbers or tigers or tiger habitats are widely prevalent or the habitat of lion? 

Why such knowledge is essential to the corporate?  The hidden management learning in the above questions will certainly help the corporate to govern itself better. 

To the best knowledge of the scientific community, the two mega predators cannot co-exist.  Competition for food and space would limit the co-existence if the two different animals were of equal strength.  Only when there is an undulation in the strength of the two different species of animals, co-existence could be possible. 

This is true for corporate leaders also.  Two dominant leaders cannot co-exist in same corporate.  If, some entrepreneur aspires to have two top leaders, create separate territory for them otherwise you will be witnessing a war unto death among these leaders. 

While understanding the leadership qualities/dominance of people, also know well about the habitat of your corporate, whether two distinct and visibly non-overlapping territories can be created to them. 

Another important message the corporate must learn from the above is about the ‘leadership gesture’.    The habitat of the lion is open country.  Since it has chosen open habitat, it also wisely preferred to be a social animal.  Some leaders tend to hide their ego and dominating attitude in the coterie of their subordinates.   People may think such leaders to be friendly and generous, hence are accepted. 

Interestingly, tiger prefer to live in wood lands, hide and hunt.  Naturally they are solitary as being social is disadvantageous both in terms of sharing the food and being get noticed when in a crowd.    People in the corporate who exhibit leadership qualities like tigers also may go unnoticed.  This will make the corporate ecosystem support the both and later worry & witness the never ending fight between them. 

HR in the corporate must be sensitive in knowing about the leadership definition and its relevance to their corporate.   By, having the best leaders and best talents may sometime do more harm than any good to the corporate. 

In academic institutions, such co-existence is possible as the territory is well demarcated and success largely requires territorial approach & attitude than collective approach.   Only individualized or individual’s excellence alone would add merit to the academic institutions whereas, only group excellence and group performance alone will give advantage to the corporate.
