This is clear from the article (Pye) where he already had the Customer Service values strategy as his goal after only consulting the EOG and some outside interests. He is a typical of an Authoritarian lead with downward orders and non communication (Martindale). A Paternalistic leader is the father type figure and takes care of their Company and employee’s as a parent would and therefore in the best interests of all concerned. With his type of leadership the leader shows concern for his employee’s workers and he gets back the complete trust and loyalty of his staff.
According to author Stephen M. R. Covey in his book “The Speed of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything,” when trust goes down productivity also goes down and costs go up. Conversely, as trust goes up productivity increases and costs decrease. This is the economics of trust in the organization. And nothing impacts your ability to motivate employees more than the level of trust they have in you as a leader. Trusted leaders, first and foremost, are those whose actions match their words.
