The blue-chip leader mill risks churning out ‘default managers’ who look and act the same as their predecessors.
Another chief executive rolled off the Unilever production line last week, when Leena Nair was appointed to run luxury goods company Chanel.
Factories have to be regularly retooled, for one thing. General Electric was the best-known and certainly the best-publicised CEO conveyor belt of the 1990s and early 2000s. Its Crotonville training centre and leadership development program won global renown. Despite the efforts of diversity champions such as Unilever’s Nair, a big-company conveyor belt still risks churning out “default managers”, who look the same and apply the same types of solutions as their predecessors to today’s unpredictable challenges.Meanwhile, new leaders have been forged during the pandemic, shaped and tempered by real operational crises rather than classroom presentations.
