Please provide a detailed explanation to the post supporting or denying its effectiveness. When considering leadership practices and decision-making, the essence of a leader is posed in how they engage an organization in difficult times or crises. Bruce had an opportunity to develop and consider an adaptive leadership approach through collaboration, improvisation, and empowerment (Yukl, 2020) as a participative leader (Uhl-Bien, 2018). Developing a strategy for change through the engagement of a cross-functional team to adapt to an unpredictable and complex (Uhl-Bien, 2018) would have proven beneficial. Developing a communication plan with a clear vision (Yukl, 2020) outlining the past and current state of the company and shared ownership for the future would have developed trust, respect, and a holistic approach. These are just two areas that would have changed the organization's future performance.
