Operational Excellence practices alone don't guarantee success; implementation quality, organizational culture, leadership commitment, and strategic alignment determine competitive outcomes. Banks implementing identical operational improvement methodologies like Lean and Six Sigma achieve vastly different results due to factors beyond the practices themselves. Success depends on how thoroughly organizations embed these approaches into their culture, the quality of implementation execution, leadership commitment to continuous improvement, and alignment with overall business strategy.

She said that driving the change is the company's intent to have "a continuous exchange between an employee and a leader" - not just a formal review once or twice a year. More frequent feedback is necessary, Seabrook, to keep up with the pace of change in business. "It's very important that the people know, 'Where am I? How am I doing? How am I developing?'" she said.

The average CEO makes over 280 times what their company's line worker earns. This is more than 10 times the ratio observed in the 1970s. Looking just at the salaries and bonuses of Fortune 500 CEOs, financial executives, top university presidents, and even some directors of the larger non-profit organizations, you would think that these leaders are performing at high levels-at least levels high enough to justify their huge compensation. Unfortunately, that's not often the case.
