Cass needs to understand that his role would be better served as a servant leader -- making it easier for his employees to succeed.
Frank
Frank should have requested a meeting with Cass once he found out about Jean. At this meeting, roles, responsibilities, strategies and tactics should have been communicated. Once Jean arrived, Cass should have taken the lead to help Jean understand that Frank was the lead, she was assisting. Had this happened, then procedures would be in place to circumvent Frank's feelings of betrayal and anger.
Jean
Jean had a hard position -- she had three bosses (client, Frank, and Home Office). Her role was never clarified, but she should not have waited until a luncheon during a taping process to spurt out that the ads were "boring."

Doug

Greenleaf, to his great credit, wanted to stress the point that leaders should first serve, and later lead through service. The leaders who have power but have not led, and use the power to push his or her own viewpoints and agenda, are not the kind
This is why the journal article advocated more empirical research that is still lacking ten years later (Russell & Stone, 2002, 145). B. Servant Leadership-Greenleaf The primary aspect is that a servant leader is first a servant who feels a natural need to provide for the needs of others (Greenleaf & Spears, 2002, 27). A concrete example of this would have been a leader such as Martin Luther King Jr. who
Therefore, the servant leadership theory reflects the need for analyzing this type of leadership. Servant Leadership Cons There is also certain criticism addressed by some to this theory.
