Career & Compensation Alerts

October 8, 2008 10:32 AM

The CEO of insurance brokerage Dawson Cos., who works out of the firm's Naples, Fla., office, describes in this article how he uses "Zen management" to build strong relationships with staff members in Ohio who suffer through winter's chill. Some CEOs might feel guilty about not being available to staff 24/7, but Mike Sherman believes that people who are too busy putting out fires don't have enough time to dream up great ideas. So he lets employees know that he's working as hard as they are every day while still taking some time to slow down long enough to think and enjoy life. His management style enabled him to turn over day-to-day operations to another executive, giving Sherman an extra 40 minutes of what he calls "walking and thinking" time each morning, which he believes has a positive impact on the business and its people.
