Good Company - September 16/09

Beware leaders who make themselves the star. CEOs are temporary stewards and the goal is for the organization to be successful long after they’ve left. 

So performance measurements for CEOs should always be based on the long-term effects of their decisions, and any incentives should be geared to that end.

It’s tempting to look for a star because it might seem like a safe bet, but stars can sometimes be more concerned with their own success than that of their business. Look for leaders who promote their business loudly and their personal success quietly. That’s the CEO you want. 






Graham Carver, President
