Too many companies are led by executives who’ve drifted far from the Builder behavior that made them great.

The C-suite must have a hefty dose of “Builder spirit” — a passion for driving organic growth by delivering differentiated value to customers, a focus on innovation, and an insistence on thinking in years rather than quarters — to stay competitive in a fierce marketplace.

As leaders have drifted away from Builder behavior, they’ve started making unforced, self-inflicted errors that are slowing their companies’ growth.

Layoffs take a devastating toll on the laid-off.

It’s vital to breathe new life (and pour more funding) into your market-facing innovation efforts.
