Welcome to PowerTalk, where we talk with CEOs, COOs and other key business people at public and private companies as well as other subject matter experts.
This week I was thrilled to talk with Bob Kelleher, author of Creativeship, and founder of The Employee Engagement Group. Over the years, Bob has worked with Shell, the TJX Companies (TJX), Prudential, Abbot Labs (ABT), Fidelity, the Center for Disease Control, Balfour Betty, Unocal and dozens of others.
Can we count on the CEO?
I always get a bunch of questions from subscribers to PowerTrend Profits or at my public speaking engagements. But the one question that tends to crop up rather frequently is what do I think of this CEO or that CEO? Are they doing a good job running the company? Can we count on them?
My answer is that over my 20+ years of dissecting industries and companies, I???ve found that there are some great CEOs out there, but there are also some that should be gone. Take it from me,- someone who sat across the table from a number of CEOs - there are some who get it and then are some who don???t see the writing on the walls.
If you can???t get behind what the management team is doing, you can???t get behind the stock. It???s a deal breaker plain and simple.
Over the course of our PowerTalk, we discuss a number of key issues when it comes to being a successful leader and Bob shares his quadrant view on company performance, leadership and employee engagement. All told, Bob shares ways to identify those CEOs and others that are true leaders and charting the course ahead.
There???s a lot of ground to cover in this week's PowerTalk with Bob Kelleher so let???s get to it.
