The downfall of many companies can be linked back to the chief officers. The market is very competitive, but most companies blame that as their source of failure. In comparison, bad chief officers are far worse than the competition. Most of these high ranking officers are promoted through ties, relationships or favors. Such attachments will surely destroy any company.
The presence and influence of bad chief officers’ makes the employees under them revolt and despair. From such corruption lies perversion. All the good employees will be gone and the rest of the workforce will adapt to the changes and become just as corrupted as their superior. How can a company survive if everyone is only thinking about profiting themselves? What is worse is when these officers start to work with the enemy.
The chief executive officer (CEO) must value people of talents and cultivate them. The bad must be fired and the good kept. Instead of restructuring the whole company, replace the bad chief officers with people who are more worthy and just. The officers are the ones that inspire their men, and bad officers only corrupt them.
Bad chief officers are like a disease to the company’s health. The longer it stays, the more rotten it becomes. Remove the disease quickly so the company can be back in good health. The chief executive officer holds the medicine to it for he/she has the power to remove them.
