When organizations are small (startups, small teams in companies and government agencies) early employees share a mission (why they come to work, what they need to do while they are at work, and how they will know they have succeeded). And the results weren’t the traditional PR metrics of number of articles or inches of ink.

I first heard this in a governance seminar for a non-profit higher educational board upon which I sit, over 25 years ago. Once a board member reaches beyond the CEO into the corporation, especially without the approval of the CEO, incurable damage has been done to the CEO’s ability to govern. The problem cannot be overstated.

I first heard this expression in a governance seminar for a non-profit higher educational board upon which I sit, years ago. The CEO spoke, shared metrics, spoke of issues to be addressed during the coming week, and did a fine job of pointing the assembled troops in the right direction. I could not have been more pleased.
