Also, a common response is to confuse a sales engine, fulfillment process, operational process, technology platform, or any number of other areas as business models, where this is not the case. Furthermore, a business plan, strategic plan, marketing plan, capital formation plan, exit plan, etc., are also not business models.

My question is this…since when have fear and avoidance become prerequisites for success as a CEO? 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. The fact is that business is not a static endeavor.

So the real question is this…how does a CEO get to the point of being so disconnected from operations that he or she just doesn’t have a clue?

While successful leaders share many common traits, all great leaders have one thing in common – they are not only adept at earning the loyalty of those they lead, but they also recognize that loyalty is a two-way street, and as such give their loyalty in return. Leadership and loyalty go hand-in-hand.
