This is so much the case that some CEOs will avoid restructuring initiatives at all costs. My question is this…since when have fear and avoidance become prerequisites for success as a CEO? That is the question that many a business is forced to ask at some point during their life cycle.

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.

The harsh reality is that great numbers of leaders continue to operate in a vacuum by sequestering themselves away in the corner office and attempting to lead from afar. Trust me when I tell you that being out of touch is never a good position to find yourself in as the CEO.

This is the definition of presence, and it is only when we operate in the present that real creativity, growth and innovation occur. Operating in excess of that threshold will cause increased stress, lack of attention to detail and errant decisioning. Is your rubber-band stretched so tight that it’s about to snap?

I could talk about their brands, their global clout, their sales growth or their stock market value.
