Many of today's CEOs have been "shellshocked by crisis," making them extremely cautious and conservative, writes Monitor co-founder Joseph Fuller in Newsweek. “Companies will cast off their conservatism only when they accept that the standards they used to assess opportunities and evaluate risk in the past are no longer appropriate,” Fuller writes, adding that “the marketplace will ultimately reward those who stare down their fear and act.”

The Journal of Applied Corporate Finance has republished a 2002 article “Just Say No to Wall Street: Putting a Stop to the Earnings Game,” by Monitor's Joseph Fuller and Michael Jensen of Harvard Business School. The article argues that CEOs should manage expectations "in such a way that their stocks trade reasonably close to their intrinsic value. In place of earnings forecasts, management should provide information about the company’s strategic goals and main value drivers. They should also discuss the risks associated with the strategies, and management’s plans to deal with them."
