By having a set leader, or in this game, a CEO, you are putting one person in charge to make the decisions as to where to go from here. As Barath mentioned, it is important for this CEO to display leadership traits so that when a problem or crisis does arise within the group, the CEO is there to calm everyone down and come up with a solution to the crisis. Professor Barath also mentions that "Decisive leadership behavior in these types of crises still requires management action. The ongoing implications of those decisions, such as personnel transfers or job redesign, have a lasting effect on other personnel within the organization. In addition to managing the situation, strategic leaders act in a congruent manner by accessing the reserves of trust, respect, and confidence created during smaller daily contacts with staff. (Barath)." In terms of the Airplane game, this means that the CEO exhibit leadership behavior, and the power to make all big decisions within the group. It is important for them to make sure that while making the decision about what to do, they are also keeping their employees/mangers trust, respect and confidence in mind. As a CEO, if you are able to keep everyone motivated and excited about the project, you will be able to get the maximum effort an ability from every team member no matter what their specific job is. Ms. Irene Barath sums it up best in saying "Leading a team or organization during a time of crisis is not for the faint of heart. The necessary people skills cannot be developed during the crisis. Strategic leaders understand that building trust, fine tuning their emotional intelligence skills, and demonstrating a servant mind-set to the people who work for and with them is a daily activity. Modeling the ability to remain focused on positive outcomes while dealing with the challenging realities demonstrates resilience that others can strive to mirror.
