Do CEO's Matter?

In the June 2009 issue of The Atlantic, Harris Collingwood discusses the arguments on both sides of this issue, including the question "When does leadership matter?" His conclusion that "Good leaders can make small positive differences, bad leaders can make a huge negative difference," seems to fit the last eight years of U.S. government. However, Collingwood does not discuss or explain the remarkable industrial accomplishments of Ricardo Semler and his democratization of workplaces in Brazil.

Alfred Adler provided some inspiring thoughts about leadership in his article "Salvaging Mankind by Psychology," Chapter XXIV, in The Collected Clincial Works of Alfred Adler, Volume 5, Journal Articles 1921-1926.
