According to experts, if Barack Obama were a corporate CEO, he would be receiving praise for his management style. His calm demeanor and steady approach, which have earned him the nickname "No Drama Obama," are seen as qualities that business leaders could benefit from learning. Paul Reagan, a management consultant and senior lecturer at Wayne State University in Detroit, commended Obama for his clear value system and his consistency in following through on his promises. Reagan noted that Obama's high credibility has led many to view him as a corporate leader. Paul Copcutt, a personal brand strategist from Ontario, pointed out that one difference between Obama and business leaders is Obama's keen awareness of his strengths and weaknesses. This is evident in his cabinet selections, where he has chosen experts to fill in his own gaps. Copcutt believes that rather than focusing on improving weaknesses, good leaders should focus on their strengths and delegate tasks they are not good at. Obama's cabinet choices, which include individuals from different backgrounds and political views, reflect his efforts to build a diverse coalition. Chief executives often form a group of advisors who are supportive but may not provide all the diverse perspectives needed to effectively lead the entire organization. It is still too early to determine Obama's effectiveness, as he has only selected key cabinet members and pushed for quick action on an economic stimulus plan. Nancy Koehn, a business historian and Harvard Business School professor, believes the true tests will come once Obama assumes office on January 20. Reagan warned that a management style like Obama's, which is appealing to many people, may lead to widespread disappointment if change is oversold and lacks clarity. Koehn suggested that CEOs could learn from Obama's handling of challenges during his campaign, using emotional competence to address issues like fear of job loss or poor performance in today's difficult financial environment. She stated that business leaders should pay close attention to the non-tangible aspects of their employees and organization, beyond just focusing on tangible resources, headcount, market, and customers. CEO coach Deb Dib identifies a range of qualities in Obama, such as caring, confident, consistent, commanding, and calm, which she believes are crucial for business executives to possess. She emphasizes that effective CEOs typically exhibit many of these attributes, regardless of their political affiliations. Dib suggests that there is much to be learned from Obama's leadership style.
