When the Boeing 737-max crashed, they took much of Boeing with them. They also took their long-standing reputation for building with integrity and safety as leading values.

Boeing is the clearest demonstration of the downside of the ROI-based approach to business. When everything comes down to the bottom line, eventually, everything comes down.

They wanted to become profitable and hired CEOs with no engineering background but had great success making money. I’m sure it sounded good at the time, but it is short-term thinking. In addition to building back their reputation and having to earn back trust, investors lost money, employees lost jobs, people lost their lives.

Boeing is a dramatic demonstration of what can happen when we only focus on the bottom line, the numbers, the short-term profits. Yet, it happens to companies of any size.

Welcome to the age of heart-centered leadership. It has an eye on the long haul, the big picture, the future, with an understanding of the tradeoffs for every decision. But you can’t get there with old thinking and bottom-line approaches. Forward-thinking equals forward momentum.

Executive intuition coaching can help you make well-thought-out decisions every day that won’t crash back on your desk with even more problems than when it left.
