How Dumb Can Top Executives Be? Consider the following two news items that occurred during a recent month: 1- The White House said on Wednesday it was "despicable" that AIG executives spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a posh California retreat with suppliers and vendors just days after getting a federal bailout. The company repeated the same act – another fancy retreat for top executives - even after the public’s uproar in response to the news of the first. 2- The CEOs of GM, Ford and Chrysler flew to the nation's capital in private luxurious jets to beg for $25 billion in public money to avoid bankruptcy. But they had no plan with them on how this money will be used to help them. How can one explain the acts that these “smart” top executives did? Or the fact that they behaved this way with almost total blindness, and disregard, to public perception and its possible ramifications? Here are my thoughts on this phenomenon that has implications for those working in the fields of leadership development and Public Relations: - High IQ, Low EQ: Many top executives, particularly in the US, suffer from a huge gap between their high IQ (Intelligence Quotient) and their low EQ (Emotional Intelligence.) Low EQ means low scores in areas like self-awareness, social awareness, and relationship management. The top executives in the examples above clearly suffer from lack of social awareness and relationship management skills. They could not anticipate or understand the public’s perception of their behavior and did not know how to manage it. - Trapped in “Business as Usual Mental Model”: We notice that the AIG executives repeated the same outrageous behavior a few weeks later. They were not able to quickly learn from what happened and change course. They just continued their long established pattern of thinking with the force of inertia. They lacked flexibility, agility, and the ability for creative thinking and innovation. No wonder their business performance was lacking as well. - The auto executives demonstrated the same lack of innovation both in their business performance and in their behavior in the trip to Washington with no new plan or bold initiative in hand. - Training is for low ranks, not top execs: In most organizations, top executives believe in the value of training for their staff, but not for themselves. They view their success in reaching the higher rungs of the corporate ladder as evidence of their superior knowledge and competence. They stop learning new ideas and lose the capacity for personal development. The retreats they attend are mainly for networking or business planning and review, not for learning new competencies like creative thinking and emotional intelligence.  Professionals working in the fields of executive development and corporate communication have the critical mission of coaching and guiding top executives toward adopting a more creative, emotionally intelligent style of leadership with a credible and coherent leader’s voice.

Manager As Communicator: Training Managers to Communicate Strategy And Change to Their Staff gives your mangers and supervisors the skills and tools they need to effectively act as the primary communicators of the organization's mission, strategy and goals. Studies indicate that employees look to their immediate supervisor to get the key information they need about their job, the developments that are taking place in the organization and the way these will affect them.
