Rich Karlgaard covers the USA Today article about founders staying with their companies and the corresponding increase in share price.

Here’s the USA Today article:

My take is that when a founder CEO figures out a) a market where he can make money and b) a sustainable way to lead the company, ie a method of being that resonates with both the leader and the team, then he will consistently beat the market.

Guy Kawasaki recently blogged about this site:
http://www.valuebasedmanagement.net/
As a consultant, I find the site interesting and a great reference site, something I will probably go back to at some point in the future. Unfortunately, I can’t say that I know all the theories on the page…or even half of them. Guy ended his blog with the following:
“You can use the page as a test: Anyone who knows all these theories is someone you shouldn’t hire.”
Hmmm. Guy has always been somewhat of a contrarian. He must find the information overwhelming to the point that he thinks that knowing all these ideas would cloud over a person’s ability to focus on the really important things to a business. Bottom line is that I can’t say that I disagree with his comment and….I still like the list.
By the way, where is Fred Reicheld’s work on loyalty in the list?
