To Listen and Share or Not?
I had an interesting experience at a recent marketing roundtable that I was running for a fast-growing manufacturer of branded and private label products.
The founder and CEO was in the room along with a number of the members of the management and sales teams. One of the points that came up from the management team was that the entrepreneur did not share enough of his ideas and vision in advance. In essence, he continuously held his cards too close to his chest making it difficult for them to make day-to-day, tactical decisions that contributed to the long-term strategic direction of the firm.
