  • 19. Why does it matter? “Executives spend more time on managing people and making people decisions than on anything else - and they should. No other decisions are so long lasting in their consequences or so difficult to unmake. And yet, by and large, executives make poor promoting and staffing decisions. By all accounts, their batting average is no better than .333: at most one-third of such decisions turn out right; one-third are minimally effective; and one-third are outright failures. In no other area of management would we put up with such miserable performance. Making the right people decisions is the ultimate means of controlling an organization well. Such decisions reveal how competent management is, what its values are, and whether it takes its job seriously.” Peter F. Drucker “How to Make People Decisions” Harvard Business Review July-August 1985
  • 20. Managing the Gap We see from the McQuaig survey results that CEOs understand the importance of working by, with and through others. Although a CEO may naturally have a stronger technical than people orientation, this gap can be managed cognitively through choosing behaviors that will yield better results.
