Executives take a lot of pushback, but don’t always handle it well. A key step is to create an environment where critics know they’ll be heard. No CEO takes the top job expecting to always be agreed with.

Formulas may be road-tested approaches to business challenges, but formulas have flaws. What worked yesterday might not be applicable or even plausible today. There are three primary weaknesses to relying on formulas to address business issues in a constantly changing environment: 1.) they don’t work the same in all contexts; 2) they can be replicated by the competition; and 3) they can have hidden risks.

Among them are the lack of a culture of trust, poor communications, ineffective feedback, and valuing IQ over EQ.
