Here is the second best thing I learned this year:
Deep Dive – I was able to speak with CEOs at a handful of Fortune 500 companies this year. Obviously, these are smart folks who know how to adapt to the demands of the board, address Wall Street with confidence and drive employees to meet expectations. Many are challenged by the ability to communicate a higher purpose – vision that has little to do with financial results. As one of my clients said: “When the mailroom person knows what’s in the CEO’s heart, then you really have an amazing company.”
