Leadership begets loyalty. That’s conventional wisdom. How valid it today amidst high attrition rates in even the best of the companies? After all no one can fault leaders, e.g.. Infosy for deficiency in their leadership skills. I feel that the people, who today are beginning their careers or in early years of their careers, are not really thinking in these terms. Their whole lexicon is different. They have jobs to do, money to earn, things to acquire and enjoy. They have to move on with their lives. In some high pressure sectors like IT and BPOs, they have serious hurdles in getting into serious and stable relationships. How will “loyalty” be perceived them? I feel just as people are inventing new languages to express and think, those who wish to lead them also must invent new ways of doing their leadership jobs. Watch out for more on this. Hemant
