"This story is about four executives: COO, CFO, CMO, and CHRO. During a redundancy scenario, the COO was asked to handle it. The COO was sure that the CFO would take care of the situation. The CMO could have done it, but the CHRO did it. The CFO got angry because it was the COO's job to do. The COO thought the CMO would do it, but the CHRO realized that the COO wouldn't do it. It ended up that the COO blamed the CFO when the CHRO did what the CMO could have done."Is the above a leadership problem? Is the above a communication problem? Do you know if the above is a leadership team development problem? Is the above a CEO problem? What say you?

6 个月This is an executive team that clearly lacks clarity, sense of direction and communication. There is too much finger pointing which leads to further conflict. The buck inevitably stops at the CEO who should bring the team together and provide a sense of direction and leadership to this group and clarify roles and responsibilities so they are not stepping on each others functions.

6 个月Clearly each Chief position have different roles. The problem seems within this group, all employed at that company. CHRO should have been given this problem to fix. And the CEO has a problem on their hands.
