As
a leader, it is all too easy to become disconnected from the troops. The
contrast between the frontline environment and the physical surroundings of the
average executive—mahogany offices, dining-room-sized conference tables, and
private gyms or private jets—is one reason. Then consider the contrast in the
nature, complexity, and seriousness of the work, such as strategy planning and
executive staff meetings – and it makes it easy to forget what’s going on
below. The demands on a senior leader to be focused on strategy planning and
budgets makes it easy to take their eyes off the organizational culture and
lose empathy for those who have to execute their plans.
