Executive Summary
James Gorman outlines his philosophy that a winning business strategy is a prerequisite for building a strong corporate culture, as success is the primary driver of employee engagement.
He argues forcefully that senior leaders have an obligation to be physically present in the office to mentor and develop junior employees, viewing remote work as a mistake for career-focused young professionals.
Gorman details the successful and transparent CEO succession processes he managed at Morgan Stanley and Disney, emphasizing the board's ultimate authority, the importance of a rigorous process, and the ability to retain key internal candidates.
As a Disney board member, Gorman asserts that the new CEO was the board's choice after a thorough process, and he is certain that former CEO Bob Iger will not return to the role again.
