Roger Goodell has gone to ground
Tim Keown, ESPN, September 18, 2014
Roger Goodell has disappeared. In the NFL’s hour of greatest need, its leader has decided to remain silent and invisible. Poof! Vanished. For more than a week, as pictures emerge and indictments are filed and news conferences collapse under the weight of doublespeak and obfuscation, Goodell has sealed himself away from the mounting pile of rubble.
Where is he, and why? Is the commissioner himself on the NFL exempt/commissioner’s permission list? His retreat from the public realm gives the impression of a boss who is not only inaccessible, but incapable. This isn’t going away soon.
New York crisis management expert Davia Temin says she would tell Goodell this: The league must use its reach and influence to devote itself to the issue of domestic violence, including child abuse. It should mandate its players and team employees to complete the strictest and most comprehensive domestic violence training in corporate America. It should buy in wholly and completely, not as a PR stunt. […read more]
“Roger Goodell has gone to ground”
Roger Goodell has disappeared. In the NFL’s hour of greatest need, its leader has decided to remain silent and invisible. His retreat from the public realm gives the impression of a boss who is not only inaccessible, but incapable. In times of crisis — and make no mistake, this is a crisis — leaders step forward. “There’s nothing worse than when it looks like you are being forced to act,” Temin says. “The really wise leader — to use an overused term — leans into it and takes what’s been given.” — ESPN […read more]

How We Can Be the Invisible Heart of Markets
Matthew Bishop, LinkedIn, September 15, 2014
Adam Smith, the great Scottish economist and philosopher, famously described market forces as “an invisible hand” that seemed to drive businesses to deliver what society needs. The financial crash of 2008 highlighted that modern business, with its global scale and complexity, is less reliable than Smith’s 18th Century capitalism; sometimes the invisible hand can do serious damage to society and the planet. What is needed is an “invisible heart” to guide the invisible hand in the right direction. […read more]
