Abstract
The financial crisis of 2008–10 emphasises the central role of Executive Governance. This has to be differentiated from strict Corporate Governance and traditional Management.
The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say ‘I.’ And that’s not because they have trained themselves not to say ‘I.’ They don’t think ‘I.’ They think ‘we’; they think ‘team.’ They understand their job to be to make the team function.
