Companies stagnate when their leaders stagnate
- text70 7y agoThis brings up a great question. Should business decisions be based on a record of achievement, or a record of ability to change and adapt? If you would like to think about it quantitatively, that is the summation vs the double differential.
- sjg007 7y agoThe first as it implies a positive second derivative.

- Forge36 7y agoLouis Rossmann just had a short video where he briefly mentioned fixing things under your control. (I think he phrased it as) cleanup the little area of the world you can, and let the effects ripple out. I've also heard similar tones with self-help books on management I've read. "Are your actions inspiring a different behavior than what you're asking for?" I wonder someone using the phrase "Do as I say not as I do" could best exemplify when this has become a major problem
- aldoushuxley001 7y agoSo maybe it’s actually okay for CEOs and business leaders to be paid more (even significantly more) than other workers in the company.
- glaive123 7y agoKinda, but not really. 1. Companies stagnate when their market isn't growing. 2. Companies stagnate when competition is increasing in the market. You can be a shitty leader and still succeed massively despite yourself.
- crawfordcomeaux 7y agoI think this depends on the size, structure, and governance of the company. Maybe the title needs a slightly weaker claim: Companies CAN stagnate when their leaders stagnate.
