1920s Leadership

What kind of decade leader are you? When I ask that question I don't mean that you might be an old fashioned leader, or that you can only lead in that decade. What I want to do with this comparison is look at a decade and determine what it was known for and then put that in terms of leadership.

Today we are looking at the 1920s. The 1920s were a fun time in America. It was a time of great financial prosperity after World War 1 and it was a time fun and frivolity. It was sometimes known as the Roaring Twenties or the Jazz Age.

With this in mind are you a 1920s leader? What does a 1920s leader encompass? In order to be a 1920s leader you must have the characteristics of the 1920s.

Are you a prosperous leader? Is everything you touch turning to gold. If the projects you work on or lead end up being huge successes you might be a 1920s leader. If while producing all of those successful projects do you find yourself and those around you having fun. Do you foster an atmosphere of fun where you work? If so you might be a 1920s leader.


With the onset of the Jazz Age it allowed for a sense of creativity. If your leadership is one of creativity, properity and fun then you might just be a 1920s leader.

Now the twenties and a 1920 leader isn't all positive. The twenties also saw prohibition and at the end of the decade was the huge market crash. As a leader do you prohibit those around you from finding success? Do you prohibit their creativity so you can be the one to get all of the fame? If so you may be on the road to a huge crash.

Don't let your leadership crash be fair, fun and prosperous and allow those who work for you and with you to share in the success. Then you will be a true 1920s leader.
