At an organizational level have you focused so much on process improvements and incremental gains that you’ve failed to recognize opportunity and innovate? So much so, that I have really come to cringe every time I hear the word efficiency. Let me ask you a question – Have you become so efficient that you’ve rendered yourself ineffective?

A wise man once said when the purpose of a thing is no known abuse is inevitable which might be the case if you don't know the purpose of confidence and how to apply it. I think not. While confidence can be mistaken for arrogance, and vice-versa, they are clearly not interchangeable terms.

If change and innovation weren’t key contributors to sustainable success, and the enterprise could just run on auto-pilot, you could replace the CEO with a General Manager.

My recommendation is not to hand-cuff or bridle your CEO, rather give the CEO room to lead, maneuver, innovate and succeed. The simple truth of the matter is that corporate impatience driven by the short-term mentality of Wall St. is most often times incongruous with the long-term best interests of shareholders. But hey, what do I know?
