In this new podcast, Doug Hicks talks about his experience with decision makers that are employed by business owners to manage their organizations falling into two major categories: those who view their organization as if it were a living entity and those who view it as if it were a game.

Those viewing their organization as a living entity act as if they were given stewardship of the organization during a particular period of its life. We’ll call these individuals stewards. Their objective is to pick up where the previous steward left off and provide the organization with the guidance and nurturing necessary to continue its development until the time comes to transfer their stewardship of the organization to another individual.

Those viewing their organization as a game (we will call these individuals game players), see their organization as a contest in which they must run up the highest score from the time they begin the game until they are either dismissed or find another game to play.
