Everyone in today's business world is familiar with the pressures that result in re organization, restructuring, decentralization, and attention to the near term. Recently we have seen the fall of richard J. ferris, CEO of allegis, allegedly because he attempted to build his organization for the long term. Psychological catastrophes that accompany these pressure are no longwe news. In addition, the concentration on cutting costs and attacking competitors frequently results in abandoning research and product development. The heavy emphasis on paying for the botton line has all too, often led to loss of innovation and depreciation of those qualitative features of an organization representing the core of its character. Yet the majority of CEOs remain hevily focused on the numbers, a pressure exacerbated by the threat of possible take overs and the increasing demand of large stock holders, such as pension fund managers, for high returns in the short run. Search consultants reports they continue to be asked to find prospective CEOs who will tightly controll organizations for short term results. Although these results often bolster stock prices, making the firm more attractive to institutional buyers, they start a spiral of escalating demands for lean and mean cultures. The phrase lean and mean taken from the world of prodessional sports, is now widely used. The implication in that phrase is that one should be willing to incapacitate the opponent whenever possible and highlights the struggle for so many executives between being hard and soft, between being non emotional and emotional, between being hard - nosed and a "bleeding heart".
