Yahoo News reports that in a recent survey taken by BNET.com reports that 64% of CEO's view current CEO pay scales as excessive (in contrast, 77% of employees believe CEO's to be overpaid).
Even more importantly, 50% of CEO's said that their leadership style was effective while only 38% of employees agreed.
These statistics are in line with my observations in my first book LEADING PEOPLE THE BLACK BELT WAY, where I discuss the impact on the bottom line of poor leadership.
