Wyatt Woodsmall - Leadership & Change - 2 - Red

This document discusses strategies for managing "Red", which refers to people or groups that are power-oriented and seek immediate gratification. It recommends being ruthless and demonstrating superior power over Red, as setting firm boundaries that are consistently enforced. Red will test limits and only respects power, not threats. Leadership requires rewarding Red for accomplishments to maintain loyalty while recognizing the leader's authority. Two forms of leadership are discussed: a ruthless dictator model and unstable competition between warlords vying for dominance.
