Cuttings 94 is now published and online. Click here to download a copy.
No sooner had I published the last edition of Cuttings with its lead article on the Stagecraft of Steve Jobs than he announced his medical retirement from the position of Apple CEO. I hope that this edition of Cuttings does not have the same effect on the featured writers :-)
In this edition, I have come across a couple of pieces of research in similar areas - the benefits of a clear and enforced culture on the performance of an organisation. First some work done at HBS on the benefits of strong and adaptive cultures over charismatic leadership, and the second some work done on performance management in the economic reality of today. Both stress the importance of leadership and consistency in approach.
Enjoy reading and join the discussion.
