Bain. Ask Three Questions to Clarify Expectations - John Baldoni - Har. By John Baldoni | 3:35 PM August 18, 2009 Leave it to a comedian to invert perceptions of the leader-follower dynamic. Jon Stewart recently asked chief White House economic adviser Austan Goolsbee “Is [the President] going to impeach us?”
After all, Stewart mused, might the unpopularity of the President’s health care reform be due to people’s failure to follow rather than the President’s ability to lead?

The Social Enterprise: A Case For Disruptive Transformation. One of the watchwords of the 21st century, at least for the first decade, has been innovation. In a world that’s clearly changing all around us at an ever increasing rate, actively pursuing new innovation has usually seemed like the best way for companies to ward off any accumulated failures to adapt to new realities.

Surely executives can't focus on internal issues when so many other pressing matters are crowding in on them. One CEO we work with explained this struggle in stark terms: "Our revenues are down fifty percent and earnings are negative," he said. "We're in survival mode. All we can do is cut our costs, watch our cash, and try to hold on. But another senior executive had a different answer.
