Who makes the important decisions in your organization? Strategy, product development, budgeting, compensation―such key decisions typically are made by company leaders. That's what bosses are for, right? But maybe the boss isn't the best person to make the call. Dennis Bakke drew on this assumption to build AES into a Fortune 200 company, with 27,000 people in 27 countries.
