Chairman and CEO of Tupperware Corporation
This concept has served as an important influence in my operating
philosophy throughout my career. In essence, it speaks to empowerment
within an organization. It has guided me to discuss expectations with my
management team, agree on deliverables and a timeline, and then get out
of their way and let them perform.
It also speaks to the dynamics of how, I believe, the best companies are
led. There is a leader presiding over the organization, but decision-making
rests with units of leadership scattered throughout the company, rather
than with the CEO. These are the companies that are able to continuously
renew their business model and achieve sustainable competitive
advantage.
