McKnight, 3M’s chief executive, in 1924. Their premise is that If you give your workers maximum autonomy, in the right conditions and culture, they will “lead your business to higher productivity, profits and growth.”]]> http://www.ceoflow.com/2009/12/interview-freedom-inc/feed/ 0 http://www.ceoflow.com/2009/12/ceoflow-consult/ http://www.ceoflow.com/2009/12/ceoflow-consult/#comments Wed, 02 Dec 2009 18:22:34 +0000 aaronross383 http://www.ceoflow.com/?p=667 Know any CEOs feeling overwhelmed while juggling life, employees and the world?

I've included a sample here of his last post ("The seeeeeeriously cool way out of a downturn") that's very relevant to what CEOs are dealing with today. By the way, I would never tell a CEO to do everything they can to avoid layoffs. Layoffs can hurt a culture, or it can help it - it depends on how they're handled, and the unique situation of the company. In fact, I'm often suggesting CEOs consider layoffs before they're ready to accept the necessity themselves, because lots of companies, especially startups, tend to overhire and have too many people anyway. Boards and CEOs like to make aggressive hiring plans based on aggressive growth...which often doesn't come as fast as they want.]]> http://www.ceoflow.com/2009/03/alexander-chief-happiness-officer/feed/ 1 http://www.ceoflow.com/2009/03/want-to-brainstorm-with-richard-branson-on-necker-island/ http://www.ceoflow.com/2009/03/want-to-brainstorm-with-richard-branson-on-necker-island/#comments Fri, 20 Mar 2009 16:43:20 +0000 aaronross383 http://ceoflow.com/?p=387 In Silicon Valley/Los Angeles it's pretty grim here for many CEOs/owners - especially the ones of venture-funded companies. I see that the more stressed they get, the less able they are to get a clear picture of what they need to do to succeed. Whether it's racing fast cars or going for a hike, getting some mental space, regularly, makes a big difference in your productivity (a big reason why I have CEO groups going in SF and LA - getting together with peers can also create that space).]]> http://www.ceoflow.com/2009/03/want-to-brainstorm-with-richard-branson-on-necker-island/feed/ 0
