Meet The New Boss:What It Takes To Be A CEO In The 2020s

会见新老板：20世纪20年代CEO要具备哪些条件？

The rules of management are being ripped up. Bosses need to adapt.

管理规则正在被撕碎。老板们需要适应。

成功

(1) On paper this is a golden age for bosses. Chief executives have vast power. The 500 people who run America's largest listed firms hold sway over 26m staff. Profits are high and the economy is purring. The pay is fantastic; the median of those CEOs pockets $13m a year. Sundar Pichai at Alphabet has just got a deal worth up to $246m by 2023. The risks are tolerable; your chances of being fired or retiring in any year are about 10%. CEOs often get away with a dreadful performance. In April Ginni Rometty will stand down from IBM after eight years in which Big Blue's shares have trailed the stockmarket by 202%. Adam Neumann got high in private jets and lost $4bn before being ousted from WeWork last year. The only big drawback is all those meetings, which eat up two-thirds of the typical boss's working hours.

理论上这是一个老板的黄金年代。首席执行官们拥有广泛的权力。由500人领导的美国最大上市公司掌控着超过2600万员工。利润很高，经济在咆哮。报酬丰厚；这些CEO钱袋的中位数每年到1300万美元。桑德尔・皮查伊刚得到了协议，在2023他可以拿到2.46亿美元。风险在可接受范围；你在某年被开除或解雇的可能性大概有10%。CEO们通常在业绩非常糟糕的情况下才会离职。在4月，金妮・罗梅蒂将退出IBM，过去八年“蓝色巨人”的股价落后于股票市场202%。亚当・诺伊曼在私人飞机上吸毒，造成了40亿美元的损失后，去年被联合办公空间赶下台。唯一的缺点就是各种会议，它们吃掉了一个典型老板2/3的工作时间。

颠覆

(2)Yet CEOs say the job has got harder. Most point the finger at "disruption", the idea that competition is more intense. But they have been saying that for years. In fact the evidence suggests that, as America's economy has become more sclerotic, big firms have been able to count on cranking out high profits for longer. Nonetheless, bosses are right that something has changed. The nature of the job is being disrupted. In particular, CEOs' mechanism for exercising control over their vast enterprises is failing, and where and why frims operate is in flux. That has big implications for business, and for anyone climbing the corporate ladder.

然而CEO们却说这份工作变得更困难了。大部分重点指向了“颠覆”，意思是竞争更加激烈。但他们多年来一直是这么说的。事实上有证据证明，随着美国经济变得更加僵硬，大公司能指望更长时间通过粗制滥造来获得高利润。尽管如此，老板们的判断是对的，有些事已经改变了。这份工作的性质正在被打破。尤其是，CEO们机械化运用控制他们大量公司的方法正在失效，公司的运营在什么地方和为什么这样运营都在不断变化。这对企业及企业各级的管理者都有很大影响。
