Two CEOs in one company. I have never thought of it, I still dont see how much it will work perhaps cos I have being programmed into the believe in one overall boss.

Might just be my inexperience though

ok.

Mynd44:

Great insight.

But will it work in the Nigerian setting where ego and arrogance seems to be a more potent driving force than collective good and success?

i just saw this


Did u read the full article


If u look at the article i dont think ego or arrogance is patented to nigeria

And though Zenger admits that having another executive to discuss something with before approaching the board is a benefit of the system, he thinks that co-CEOs risk overly complicating things by having to report to each other constantly.

Bower also recognizes that most companies that try the system will feel the strain of divided command. "It takes great discipline to consult when appropriate, be decisive when needed, and not blow up the arrangement when one's partner has violated an aspect of the arrangement," he said.

In 2008, for instance, media company Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia named Wenda Harris Millard and Robin Marino as dual CEOs. But the arrangement dissolved in less than a year, reportedly due to disagreements at the top.

Same here

BananaBender:
I really would like to read the females response to this thread. Especially females that believe men should be the head of the family.

This is why the goal of Nigerian feminism frustrates me.


While we are busy, praying hoping and working to see if we can live in a truly equitable society, this confused bunch are busy launching programs upon programs that are anti-family.

How can you dictate how another person should run his/her own family?

Both d CEOs are in charge of different aspects. But if d company fails one will held more responsible than d other according 2 wat an individual said in d article,

Stop being emotional.

Beautiful nkemooo, you deserve better than always pitching tent with feminists.

The day women marry down without looking down at the husband, that day I'll believe in gender equality.

LewsTherin:
There are many gender stereotypes I do not agree with. A good number of them are based on cultures. However, contrary to most people's belief, cultures and customs change. Once upon a time, it was tradition to wear particular animal hides during particular ceremonies. Today we wear particular cloth types for ceremonies that are very different from what we practiced then. Once, Chaka Zulu, the same great Chaka Zulu ordered his soldiers to train bare feet. Today any army that cannot provide proper boots for its troops will loose a war. Go ask Napoleon. My point is that as things change, as knowledge expands, as societal requirements evolve, cultures and traditions will change as well. Ergo, gender stereotypes based on culture and tradition are as usefull to me as a situation warrants. If the situation doesn't warrant, I can't be bothered and I don't agree with said stereotypes.

That said, there are stereotypes that I will not change, that should not change because of how and why they were instituted. I am a Christian in more than name. 1 Corinthians 11:3, Genesis 3:16, Ephesians 5:22, 5:25 all give the reasons why the male is the head of the house hold. It is so, because for reasons best known to God, He chose it to be so. But we should realise that the same God that made the husband head of the home is the same God that said the husband should head said home THE WAY CHRIST DOES HIS ie with love and servitude and honour and respect and regard and care. Christ is not an iron fisted dictator. He is a caring father. Do you realise He was almost always debating with His disciples? He always explained His reasons, He listened to their opinions, He valued their contributions even though He was God.

Irrespective of whatever society says, whatever culture and traditions say, I do what my God says.

For me, my Lady makes as many decisions as I do, as is needed. But where there is a tie breaker required, as head, I make it. But I do not sit with the morning's paper giving commands and instructions while she slaves in the kitchen, with the laundry, with the cleaning and still expect a great night afterwards. That is not Christian.

Worse, that is not even leadership.

This nailed it as regards the family front

And family is no way comparable to an organization

There are homosexxuals among both sexes, planes crash, career robbers have been known to go to heaven. The exception maketh not the rule.

The family is an organisation, or at the very least, a department in the organisation of society.


@LewsTherin, I think you meant service and not servitude in your post. Check to confirm.

LOL!

I do not sleep with my boss/colleagues/subordinates neither do I feel gushy when they tell me I am beautiful or do they rub my legs and carry me to the room/position me to sleep properly.

My marriage is definitely not like an 'organisation'

iykedare:


Beautiful nkemooo, you deserve better than always pitching tent with feminists.

Nigerian men forever eating from my palms since 1900. Sorry to burst your bubble, that's not me.
Can't believe how nice you are after seeing a beautiful pic, buhahaha.
Men can't resist beautiful people even if they can't stand their character, rotflmao!
It's good to be fine o.

1. I do not sleep with my boss/colleagues/subordinates neither do I feel gushy when they tell me I am beautiful or do they rub my legs and carry me to the room/position me to sleep properly.

2. My marriage is definitely not like an 'organisation'

1. A social unit of people that is structured and
managed to meet a need or to pursue collective
goals. All organizations have a management
structure that determines relationships between the
different activities and the members, and subdivides
and assigns roles, responsibilities, and authority to
carry out different tasks. Organizations are open
systems--they affect and are affected by their
environment.

m.businessdictionary.com/definition/organization.html

OR:

An organisation is an entity, such as an institution or an
association, that has a collective goal and is linked to
an external environment. The word is derived from
the Greek word organon, itself derived from the
better-known word ergon which means "organ".

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organization

2. Please confirm that your marriage isn't in any way like the above definitions.

1. I thought we were referring to organization as per company? Just like submission in Christian marriage is 'different' from dictionary definition, same with organization as per company

2. Let's say it's like 2

1. Well, a company is an organisation, an organisation is not always a company. That's the angle I was looking at it from.
Also, submission in th bible and dictionary have the same meaning. Any complication arises strictly as a result of practice. What I mean is submission in marriage would be differently practised from submission in the workplace or in regard to public authority(read law enforcement).

2 . Gracious.

what determines if a person is fit to be a leader is his/her leadership skills not gender

First, you must understand that in every rule there is an exception, and marriage is an exception in this regard.

Some men are successul in managing and leading their family/marriage but aren't successful in leading their society and organisation.

It is the introduction of corporate mindset, too much academic wisdom, corporate laws, constitutions and corporate modes of operation into modern marriages that is ruining 21st century marriages. Please let the Holy Bible guide you if you want a happy family.

@carefreewannabe, I am not arguing your points; I also observe that you are an intelligent lady, but pls don't let your academic intelligence and modern knowledge affect your marital decisions. Sometimes in life, we need to play fool for things to work for us and for us to be happy. Being smart or playing too wise and knowledgeable in everything in life sometimes lead us to harm and loss.

Wear humility like a garment and you will enjoy life.

so women should put on the "veil of ignorance" in life in order for things to work for them, but men should never be expected to do the same for things to work out for them abi?

Thanks for the compliment.

I don't believe in playing a fool. I have never done it and I doubt, I ever will.
It has worked for me fine this way.

I believe in humility and I enjoy my life.
Thanks for the advice though.
