My last CEO was a great leader, except he showed up at 10am most days. Employees saw him get to work 90 minutes after they did. They didn't see that he stayed until 9p most nights since most of them were gone by 530. He lost the respect of the employees because he never understood that the example he set was visual. And he got fired despite the executives who worked closely with him all thinking he did a great job.
- wolco 9y agoI am sure the respect of his employees had nothing to do with why he was fired.
- pc86 9y agoI've never worked for an executive who didn't take note of how they and their superiors were viewed by their employees. The bad ones don't care, but they all at least follow it.
- BartSaM 9y agoSounds like a work culture and "top" in your workplace might be not too healthy then. CEO's should deliver results and help the company grow. If they have issues with him coming to work at 10 am, then the work culture should be adjusted imo for people to understand what it takes for him to deliver results.
- tormeh 9y agoWow, that's pretty bad. That's people I guess. Though maybe that CEO now has a job where he doesn't need to stay until 9, which is probably a win for him...
