About This Quote

When direction and meaning are confined to Executive Leadership, value is minimized. This quote explains that without the right leaders, the most valuable work goes unrecognized. This is something I’ve seen with my own eyes. A company will have a set of specialized products that are specialized for a specific market.

The product managers are the main people who are supposed to lead this effort. They are given great amounts of power and responsibility. However, they often end up doing things that don’t help the company move forward.

They can become management by numbers, doing things just because they are told they have to do them or not having their own ideas about the future. If they are given more freedom, they will be able to expand on what is already there and create new products for new markets with new ways of thinking.
