“There is a better way to foster excellence in chief executives: Appoint a non combative but skeptical partner as second in command.”
– Lawrence A. Cunningham in a brief-but-still awesome editorial in Monday’s Wall Street Journal
Non combative but skeptical. That right there is poetic, it’s so perfect.
Cunningham points out Buffet’s Munger and Eisner’s Wells. And, he accurately points out that getting this right is the key to establishing a real and meaningful culture that not only rules the feeling in the room, but the production that comes out of it.
Read the quote from Tom Murphy in Cunningham’s editorial (see the link above for the editorial). More poetry. More difference making.
