Though Fletcher has enjoyed long-term success as a portfolio manager, he stumbles as a team manager. One example is in his relationship with Stephanie Whitney. Though he described is as a “mentor-protégé” relationship, he admits to having little time to train her. While he provided her with general career guidance, he explains that it was her own resourcefulness and initiative that allowed her to ascend from an administrative assistant position to the role of analyst. This transition, as noted by one of her colleagues, was difficult for Whitney and she struggled with establishing her identity as an aspiring portfolio manager. Because of Fletcher’s hands-off approach to managing people, Whitney’s growth was stifled under his management, which was a contributing factor to her eventual resignation.

Carter Racing and NASA examples discussed in the class taught us the value of the voice of dissension. While Stevens acts like the character of Tom from Carter Racing, Jack Bryant from Personnel Audit team would have been the voice of Paul.

Just as NASA, after the Challenger Disaster instituted a rule that a launch could be vetoed by anyone in the team, including Jack in the conversation would have served as an antidote to overconfidence bias that would otherwise creep in.

His leadership style is a balance of both the Human Relations and Democratic styles. He shows the Human Relations style through the support of his employees over the tasks of work by his philosophy of building the culture and all other aspects of the business will follow suit (Schermerhorn & Bachrach. 2015. p. 456). The only aspect of his leadership that could come under criticism would be where the line between work and fun is drawn. With the company’s focus on quality over quantity, there might be financial benefits that are not being realized. The leadership approach that he takes is definitely situational and would not achieve the same result if it were implemented in such fields as health care or the legal profession.

Moreover, his courage is balanced appropriately with professionalism, strong values, and humility.
