The Caesar Principle in Leadership Role-Playing

In a previous article, we mentioned The Caesar Principle. This is our name for a phenomenon when we find people going into leading roles.

To have a leading role you must have a support system. If you assume a leading role in a area of knowledge, a business, an industry, then you must have a support system.

You cannot be the owner of a company, for example, and have an effective business unless the people in the company are supportive of you, unless you have a support system. People working for you must trust and respect you as a business professional, and you must have a support system.

People must be available to work for your company and to work for you and to do the work to the best of their ability and expertise.

You must have customers and those available to buy your products and services.

The community that you have the business in must be supportive of you.

Many business people for example before even setting up a company must find out if they have adequate support system for that company.

A community that doesn’t want a Wal-mart, for example, and is not going to be supportive of Wal-mart, then Wal-mart can not set up in that community.

First, Wal-mart must have a sufficient work force qualified to do all the different types of work that Wal-mart in that community requires.

They also must have customers enough in that community to support Wal-mart by buying the products so that Wal-mart has sufficient money to make a profit in that community, buy its products, and to pay salaries to its employees. Plus the community in general must be supportive of having a Wal-mart in their community.

Whoever is the local manager of Wal-mart must be a trusted business professional who people are able to work with in a professional and business manner.

This is true not only of the large companies like Wal-mart, but small local grocery stores.

Mainly to stay in business you need quality products and buyers of those quality products and a quality work force. Many things you need to go into business and to stay in business.

If you have very few people supportive of you you can have a company or business, but it would have to be a small, private company and you would have to assign the type of work that very few people can do.
