We had done a restructuring in 2001 with a significant number of layoffs. On the other hand, analysts were skeptical of the pipeline, and some were calling for new leadership of the company. One of the follow-on decisions was what actions we should take, if any, to compensate for the loss of approximately $2.5 billion in revenues.

The staff reasoned that rewarding stellar individual performances would provide the right incentive to excel. But by 2001, the once-dominant Buckeyes had slipped into mediocrity. This social relationship between leaders and followers is at the heart of transformational leadership.

Boston-based SkillWorks , founded in 2001, has placed more than half of the 500 displaced workers it has trained in new jobs. That will take leadership and innovation from various constituencies — business (individual firms, but especially industry associations), education, and labor — and targeted federal funding and incentives.

Organizational leadership, we tend to assume, is akin to spatial navigation: Either leaders know where to take their company, and how to take it there — or they don't. At Microsoft, Eichenwald argues, leaders established "a corporate culture that by 2001 was heading down the path of self-immolating chaos."

Repeated surveys can, over time, reveal changes in networks or in patterns of collaboration — making it possible to assess whether interventions such as reorganization or targeted efforts to improve collaboration (like offsite events, new software/communications tools, or incentive programs) actually have their desired impact.

Outsourcing leads to business model risk — you open the door to outsourcing your profits (in fact, a 2001 Boeing paper that is incredibly prescient and worth the time to read identified exactly this problem). And while outsourcing can certainly lead to problems, I'm not convinced it's the cause of these problems. At least not yet.

Most attempts to combat short-termism are flawed because they focus on changing CEO behavior through some combination of pleading and incentives. A recurring theme in those interviews was bemoaning major changes in R&D strategy that occurred as a consequence of new, often outside, leadership. This is not a surprise.

The Bush cuts also gradually raised the estate exemption and lowered the estate tax from 2001 until 2010, when the estate tax disappeared for that year only. Barring any Congressional action to change this law, taxes were set to revert back to their pre-2001 rates on January 1, 2011. What’s in the Tax Bill?

The Enron scandals of 2001 and 2002 focused only upon cooked books audit committees and deal making. Incentive and ‘random acts of kindness’ programs were deleted. Executives never stayed long. Enron routinely fired 10% of its top salaried people each year, fostering a lean-and-hungry spirit among producers of business.
