Leaders versus ManagersAmerican organizations (and probably
those in much of the rest of the industrialized world) are under led and
over managed. They do not pay enough attention to doing the right thing, while they pay
too much attention to doing things right.

Leaders Need Peer Support, Just Like Their Employees
• CEOs say it’s tough to get advice they can trust:– consultants are too vague and interested in
their contracts– lower-level executives are too deferential
• Some CEOs are starting to form peer groups to share advice and provide a sounding board for each other.
• As long as participants adhere to the SEC’s regulations, members can bring all kinds of issues before the group – and do.
