What is The Accountable Leader about?
cott Edmonds, president and CEO of the hugely successful chain of Chico's clothing stores, recently spearheaded the acquisition of specialty clothing chain Fitigues. Although made up of only nine stores, Fitigues became Edmonds's pet project and he was soon devoting a great deal of time and energy to it. He didn't realize that his emotional commitment outweighed his business sense until the members of his senior executive team called him on it. They told him, point-blank, that the acquisition had become his blind spot and was draining his time away from core business issues. How would you have responded to feedback like this from your team? Would you have pushed the eject button on the carriers of bad news or grinned and gone forward as usual? If you wouldn't have closed the Fitigues business, the way Edmonds did, it is doubtful you would make the cut as a high-performance leader.
