Two Questions Every CEO Should Be Asking

1. If traditional management and leadership philosophy and practice were developed a hundred years ago, at a time when capital was scarce and expensive and talent was plentiful and cheap, and today capital is plentiful and cheap and talent is scarce and expensive, why should we expect traditional management approaches to work?

2. Since traditional management practice was explicitly designed to minimize employee contribution, how do we design and build companies that intrinsically leverage the talent and capabilities that we are paying dearly for and not getting?"
