Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

What is a Good Leader?

Good leaders:

  1. Unify and Don’t Divide.

Good leaders never create divisions in their constituents, creating a “we vs. they” effect.

  1. Achieve Results, But Limit Collateral Damage.

A good leader is effective, but never at the cost of hurting the well-being of followers, or destroying the environment, or turning friends into foes.

  1. Share the Leadership With Followers.

They work with followers, consulting with them, caring for them, and developing their shared leadership capacity.

  1. Leave the Team, Organization, or Nation Better Off Than They Found It

"The many long year Wells people also suck."

Is this even supposed to be English? Also, stop generalizing. You have no idea what the vast majority of 'long year people' have done regarding professional development. There's thousands of these workers, some have almost certainly done more than you. Even if they haven't, in many fields of work, actual experience doing the job is much more instructive than any other type of professional development. Not every element of every job has a certification or a PhD in the subject, sometimes it's just work experience that is most valuable.

@2ibd you obviously don't work here, there are definitely some tools who do.

@2fgq. Gee, why would people care about their job? It’s not like that’s how they live and pay the bills or anything.

You people are really a piece of work sometimes. Some thought before posting might be a he-l of an idea. That’s the problem with the Twitter world, no thinking before hitting send.

whiners hate Charlie because they only care about their job. They rather have Stumpf. Pro-employees, pro-team blah blah. Get real. It’s pro-themselves. Let them keep their paycheck everything will be fine. Hypocrite!

Good leaders see employees as assets.
Bad leaders see employees as tools.

That’s the only test you need.

You are either pro- employee, pro-team, pro-customer, and pro-healthy corporate culture. Or you are Pro-Charlie. You can not be both.

I am pro-employee and pro- the people on my team and the teams I work with every day. I see how hard they work and how much of themselves they put in to their work. I am thankful for the experienced employees who have historical and system knowledge, and I am thankful for the new employees who bring something fresh and exciting to the table. And I am always for doing what is right for the customer.

Charlie is anti- employee and anti-team. I would go so far to say he is anti- Wells Fargo.

Most here would agree he is short-term and therefore has no interest in the long-term impact of his choices. There is a lot of evidence which suggests a short-term mindset deteriorates a firm’s competitiveness, increases systemic risk, neglects human capital, and reduces the long-term potential and profitability of the entire company.

Do I support my team, whom I I trust and with whom I have worked for years through both good and bad times? The team who will be here long after Charlie is gone? Or do I support Charlie, who is traveling through, looking to scrape as much off the top for himself as he can before he moves on to the next gig?

I will always choose to support and protect and defend myself and the team. And support consistently doing what’s right. I don’t put all my faith in whoever the latest CEO is, as we’ve had four in the past 5 years. If you choose to put all your support behind Charlie, than I hope you are a short-timer too.

Charlie is a short term hire. It is obvious since he didn't bother to move from NY to Charlotte or SF.

His job is to get the regulators off their backs and slash expenses. I would be surprised if he is the CEO past 2023.

My bigger fear for my career at WF is that when Charlie leaves they replace him with one of his Chase flunkies. I'd much rather see someone picked from a large regional bank that values a good work culture and the customers than more Wall Street trash.

Good post. I’m sure we’ll see the aftermath of Charlie, down the road, just like we are currently still paying the price for Stumpf and Sloan. The CEOs walk away with the cash either way.

What if he wasn't hired to be a leader by this definition? What if he was just hired to pull it about sell off what isn't needed, then hand off the lean company to the next person to actually run it as BAU.
