WHO KILLED NOKIA?
Nokia executives attempted to explain its fall from the top of the smartphone pyramid with three factors:(1)that Nokia was technically inferior to Apple(2)that the company was complacent and(3)that its leaders didn't see the disruptive iPhone coming
It has also been argued that it was none of the aboveNokia lost the smartphone battle because of divergent shared fears among the company's middle and top managers which led to companywide inertia that left it powerless to respond to Apple's game
Based on the findings of an indepth investigation and 76 interviews with top and middle managersengineers and external expertsthe researchers discovered a culture of fear due to temperamental leaders and that frightened middle managers were scared of telling the truth
The fear that froze the company came from two placesFirstthe company's top managers had a terrifying reputationSome members of Nokia's board and top management were described as extremely temperamental and they regularly shouted at people at the top of their lungsIt was very difficult to tell them things they didn't want to hearSecondlytop managers were afraid of the external environment and not meeting their quarterly targets
which also impacted how they treated middle managers
Top managers thus made middle managers afraid of disappointing themMiddle managers were told that they were not ambitious enough to meet top managers' goals
Fearing the reactions of top managersmiddle managers remained silent or provided optimisticfiltered informationThusmiddle managers directly lied to top management
Worsea culture of status inside Nokia made everyone want to hold onto vested power for fear of resources being allocated elsewhere if they delivered bad news or showed that they were not bold or ambitious enough to undertake challenging assignments
Beyond verbal pressuretop managers also applied pressure for faster performance in personnel selectionThis led middle managers to over promise and under deliverOne middle manager told us that you can get resources by promising something earlieror promising a lotIt's sales work
While modest fear might be healthy for motivationabusing it can be like overusing a drugwhich risks generating harmful side effectsTo reduce this riskleaders should coordinate with the varied emotions of the staffNokia's top managers should have encouraged safe dialogueinternal coordination and feedback to understand the true emotion in the organization
