The People Thing


It's easy to criticize the large number of poor leaders today who happen to occupy leadership positions. Let us count the ways, right? Chrysler/Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne may be an exception. He told NPR today that the first thing to disappear in decaying organizations is support for employees and their work environment. It's likely that this is more than rhetoric and that Chrysler's turnaround has much to do with the the prime directive of leadership - getting the "people thing" right. Twitter @jessicamcwade
