[:en]Some have argued the reason for Carlos Ghosn\u2019s legal trouble is for having pushed change too hard\u2014that he crossed some kind of Japanese nationalistic redline in wanting to merge Nissan and Renault, giving the French company control over the Japanese entity. Had Ghosn been more conservative in his actions, they reason, he would not be in the predicament in which he finds himself. This narrative, however, is disingenuous.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

By disingenuous,<\/em> I do not mean to say the people who called Ghosn out were not motivated by a desire to thwart the dramatic changes Ghosn wanted to make in the business. They likely did. There are just as likely as those who supported Ghosn\u2019s plans. Yet make no mistake, it\u00a0is not a violation of cultural tenets in Japan that has gotten Ghosn where he is, but rather the alleged violation of legal and ethical ones.<\/p>\n

Every leader will always have detractors gunning for him or her, no matter the magnitude of change<\/a> he or she is attempting, whether too much change or not enough. If you believe you can limit your detractors by being tentative with change\u2014despite the need to improve the condition of the business\u2014rest assured you cannot. By doing so, you merely shift the discontent from one group of people to another and compromise the best interests of the business in the process.<\/p>\nAny leader who breaks the law or otherwise violates ethics merely hands a potent weapon to his or her detractors to use against him or her, no matter what their actual grievance against that leader might be. <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n

While we don\u2019t know if Ghosn is actually guilty of what has been alleged, if he is, whatever ulterior motives his detractors might have had for calling him out do not matter. He still would have broken the law. There is no business justification, cultural or otherwise, for breaking the law in Japan.<\/p>\n

Ghosn\u2019s imperious attitude and profligate lifestyle on the back of Nissan have done little to garner him much sympathy from either Nissan\u2019s employees or the public. The Ghosn affair, however, garners my sympathy, but not because I see him as a victim of retribution for being an outsider who attempted too much change in Japan<\/a>. Rather, my sympathy for Ghosn is from watching him be subjected to an onerous legal system in Japan, where the rights of the accused and the burdens of evidence are shockingly thin by the standards of most of the world\u2019s democracies.<\/p>\n

You are not Carlos Ghosn. Do not fear retribution for the magnitude of positive change you want to make in your business\u2014no matter how many detractors you have or how vehemently they air their grievances against you. Just do what is right by the business as you see fit. That\u2019s what the best leaders I know do.<\/p>\n

None of them ever hands a weapon to his or her detractors by which to be bludgeoned. We need not either, and the vast majority of us never will.<\/p>\n
