Peter Drucker

I read today Peter Drucker taught that senior executives should spend one half of their time alone thinking problems through. Okay.

I was also thinking about mature companies that have withstood the test of time and who are now passing over the top of the "S"curve.  Do any companies immediately come to mind?

Mature companies that have withstood the test of time really don't need great executives and leaders.  However in many cases they have them anyway.  

"Back in the day", large stable companies gave managers the time to properly develop and to properly season.  Obviously that is no longer the case today.

For instance I just read that the average chief marketing officer is in the job for about two years.  So it's clearly either produce results or get out.

Do you ever wonder where this is all leading?

No wonder cyber security executives really don't have time to think through the issues.
