In the case of the CEO that means being responsive to the kingmakers in his or her company: whoever controls voting share blocs, directors, key personnel. If that corresponds to the overall health of the company, great. But this isn't necessarily the case.Jack Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17873320680596889057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-10966286300037391672017-10-19T03:07:17.557-07:002017-10-19T03:07:17.557-07:00He's just rewording the old "principle ag...He's just rewording the old "principle agent problem", that has been well known and discussed for a long time in the business world and especially in the military world.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642228725661059539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-16858987821493521472017-10-18T17:43:42.928-07:002017-10-18T17:43:42.928-07:00I don't think anyone could disagree with any o...I don't think anyone could disagree with any of this as an ideal. And it sounds like a good truth in life in general, when things are not going well, and you are responsible for the well-being of other people, and you know whatever you do, you'll be blamed by someone for not doing enough or the right thing.<br /><br />So leadership must contain something that helps you find some peace within yourself and faith you're doing the best you can in a given situation, and then be able to communicate that peace to others who can't find their own.<br /><br />Like the opening to Kipling's poem "If-"<br />https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46473/if---<br />----<br />If you can keep your head when all about you <br /> Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, <br />If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,<br /> But make allowance for their doubting too; <br />If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,<br /> Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,<br />Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,<br /> And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:<br />----<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.com
