Core Concepts
Corporate executives have a mind-numbingly narrow worldview that fails to prioritize employee well-being.
Abstract
The article discusses a new Gallup data set that reveals the limited perspectives of corporate executives. The author, who previously worked at a company led by Steve Smith, notes the irony of Smith now promoting "well-being" when the author's experience was that Smith "cared not one single iota about 'well-being.'"
The article suggests that executives are primarily focused on metrics like profits and shareholder returns, rather than the overall well-being of their employees. This narrow worldview is criticized as being detached from the real needs and concerns of the workforce. The author implies that executives need to broaden their perspectives and prioritize employee welfare to create a healthier and more productive work environment.
