戈尔公司

排名：5

戈尔公司（W. L. Gore & Associates）在填补关键领导岗位时会广泛征询员工的意见。例如，两位长期任职的部门领导者退休后，这家公司在部门内召开了一系列意见征询会，要求超过1,300名员工确认，在选择新领导团队时应该考虑哪些品质。这家公司使用类似的流程，要求人力资源部门的同事就一位新全球人力资源负责人发表意见。而且，公司现任CEO的任命也是在广泛征询各部门负责人意见后确定下来的。这些做法符合戈尔公司的核心理念，即公司领导者必须证明自己具备真正的“群众基础”，也就是说，领导职位是获得的，而不是被任命的。

When filling key leadership positions, Gore seeks broad input from the associates. For example, after two longtime divisional leaders retired, the company held a series of input sessions across the division, asking more than 1,300 associates to identify the attributes that should be considered when selecting the new leadership team. A similar process was used to ask Human Resources Associates for input on a new global HR leader, and the current CEO was named only after asking a wide group of leaders whom they would support as the next president. These practices are in keeping with W.L. Gore & Associate's core belief that leaders must demonstrate "followership" to truly lead -- in other words, that leadership is something to be earned, rather than appointed.
