Suits s06e01 (Leadership: Situational Flexibility)




Summary
                After signing a plea deal to spare his colleagues at Pearson Specter Litt, Mike will be confronted with the harsh realities of prison life as he starts his two-year sentence. Meanwhile, the once bustling Pearson Specter Litt offices are a ghost town – the partners have defected, leaving Harvey, Jessica, Louis, Donna and Rachel to pick up the pieces. But the firm’s troubles are far from over and they will have to deal with the fallout from Mike's crime before they can even begin to rebuild.

Application of OB Concept: Situational Flexibility
                Appropriate leadership behavior should be dependent of three main things: leader, followers and situation. Jessica, as the leader and the managing partner, needs to act quickly if she wants to save the firm. Because she only has a few employees left in the firm, she must properly designate tasks, making sure that everybody does their part correctly. Also, she has to see to it that everybody gets along well with one another so they can work as team. With the firm’s current situation, Jessica has upped her game. She wants to be fully aware of all the problems at hand, the possible solutions to these, and the firm’s remaining resources to spend.

Reflection
                The way you lead your subordinates cannot be the same all the time. Sometimes, you have to deviate from the norm or the standards when the situation calls for it. Being a leader means that you have to be flexible to any circumstances that your organization might face. There is no one specific rule on how you should behave as a leader. One kind of leadership behavior may work for an organization facing this specific dilemma, but may not for another organization or another problem. In the end, leaders should be able to adapt quickly to any situation to effectively manage an organization.
