William Johnson, CEO of the $10 billion food company H. J. Heinz, is quoted in Newsweek as follows: “I started out under the assumption that what got me to the position of CEO would work when I became CEO, and that is running the business and execution. That’s not my job as CEO. My job is to lead the people and manage the process. It took me a couple of years to learn that, and [when I did] I stepped back from the operations of the company and really began to focus on leadership, on having the right people in the right place, and on making sure people were properly motivated, incentivized, and directed.”1
