This isn't the forum to ask valid questions, the trolls will tear everything to tiny pieces and then put it together again according to their twisted little world.
But to answer your question, successful alliance leaders do care about their members, just like a successful real life CEO takes strategic human resource management seriously.
Which means one make strategic decisions that will keep the membership happy or at least content (strategic decisions like, who is blue who is not, who to lock horns with and who to avoid, what sort of taxation you will implement, which region you settle in, who to recruit and who to expel).
In my opinion, handing out tissue (i.e. feeling the pain of a lost ship) is the mid level management's job, directors and fleet commanders and not the CEO's. Of course it all depends on the size of the organization, in small corps and alliances where there is no established mid level management the role of the CEO is different.
Nice and pretty much dead on. You still have to explain what 'human resource management' really means though. It is actually a great illusion where the executive has the corporate populace believe that they are important and actually do make a difference. The reality of course is, the populace is nothing more than a cost factor in the big scheme of things and is to be used as a leverage tool to ensure shareholder acceptance. The CEO works for the shareholders, not the employees. Employees are seen as an excessive cost to an organization by shareholders. That is why when a company lays of people the share price goes up.
Quite frankly 90% of working people aren't needed in a corporate organization anyhow and in most cases are used for political leverage typically against a governing body to ensure that legislation is 'friendly' towards the business that organization is in. Afterall, Governments love revenue from income tax generated from the employees and despise having to provide social programs (unemployment, welfare) if an organization dumps massive amounts of people onto the street. It is a very well established game that has been going on for years and will continue to go on as long as Governments, private organizations and capitalism exist.
Besides, why should a CEO really care about the employees anyhow when the employees only care about themselves?
