Does anyone report to you? If they do, how would you respond if they said “I’d like to check in with you on my progress/metrics/etc... just once a year.” Sound like a good idea? It’s a terrible idea for managing people and a terrible idea for corporate governance. As high performance organizations move to daily if internal accountability it’s laughable that they complain accountability every 90 days to them owners of the company is too much.
Complaints about how short term focused equity investors to the detriment of long term planning almost always come from people who either don’t really understand what active equity investors do or are entrenched management trying to bury bad short term execution under th hazy and impossible to refute excuses of “we have a long term plan.”
