I was recently reading a short article by Jack Stack, Founder of SRC Holdings and the Open Book Management coaching company, Great Game of Business. In his article, Mr. Stack poses this very question, and he also makes some very good points.
For one reason or another, CEOs and corporate executives today tend to get a lot of the credit when a company succeeds or has great results under their tenure. All you have to do is go to your local bookstore, look in the business publications section, and you will count many executives fronting the pages of today?s top business magazines.
When you think about it, we?ve really turned high-level executives (especially those of major corporations) into icons and rock stars. The problem with this is we often ignore the front line employees and mid-level managers responsible for executing the overall vision and strategy in the field. And in my opinion, this is the team of people really responsible for ensuring the long-term success of an organization.
Don?t get me wrong; you have to have top leadership. It?s the nature of business, and it?s also the natural way of things. With that being said, it worries me when we attribute success to the work of any one person. It?s really a team effort; the combined efforts of many, honorable people, working toward the fulfillment of one common goal.
What are your thoughts?
?Til next week?
Warmly,
Nathan
