In this example the hourly rate of a CEO who makes $750k is $375 dollars per hour. For instance, rather than leveraging down to the $100K talent in the example above, if you drive down further to let’s say a $30k individual, you increase your organizational leverage factor by almost another 30%.

Lack of Feedback : If as a leader you don’t subject yourself to a 360 review process, then you are not earnestly looking for personal growth and development opportunities. In addition, standing with someone as a person even if they do something stupid is, in my view, an example of loyalty. The boss will never go for that.&#
