Blogging since 2002, being actively involved in digital marketing since the early 90′s, and being online since the days of the ARPANET I have a bit of history with most things digital.

Reaching the apex of the career ladder by gradually getting promoted to the top is a thing of the past. From my experience as a career coach, career ladders in most organizations have not existed for at least fifteen years. Over time, the company began to bulge with managers. Look laterally for career moves.

The Big Red Machine had great players, but they also had a fabulous manager. I admired him and was pleased when later in his career he managed the Tigers to a World Series Championship as well. He was the first manager to win a World Series title in both the National and American Leagues. Much to be learned from them.

My knowledge of corporate leaders' 360-degree feedback indicates that one out of four of them has a listening deficit—the effects of which can paralyze cross-unit collaboration, sink careers, and if it's the CEO with the deficit, derail the company. Earlier in his career, as a business unit manager, he recognized that he must cut costs.

In well-managed businesses, there are clear feedback mechanisms to ensure that the bottom of the talent pack gets managed out efficiently and objectively. While at GE, Jack Welch popularized the notion that it was good to fire the "bottom 10" of his managers every year.

Compared with my colleague, I had accomplished so little over such a long career; my two measly books were more like an embarrassment, given his output. When I passed his office and he wasn't there, I was sure that he was meeting with Jack Welch or someone famous. Robert Merton was 46 when he won the award. You see the problem.

In the 20th century, a select group of leaders — General Motor's Alfred Sloan, HP's David Packard and Bill Hewlett, and GE's Jack Welch — set the standard for the way corporations are run. In the 21st century only IBM's Sam Palmisano has done so. But IBM hasn't flourished because it kowtows to Wall Street. It is not about you.

The highlight of the day for me was when Jack Welch took center stage, and center stage he took. Fear is dead as a management tool. In a world where everything is connected, anything is possible. Leaders make the news, they don’t report it. Winning is the biggest force multiplier that a leader has. The best idea should win.

How do you become a market leader in the midst of rapid change? You predict that we will have only 100 dominant players in 50 markets by 2050. In fact, many of their leaders have forgotten how they got there – mission, talent, offering, and markets. Another indication of the speed and extent of dominance is market cap.
