Someone needs to remind American CEOs that if you can't run a company that is innovative, financially sound and doesn't poison the rest of us, You can't run a company.

Twenty years ago, you might have been pessimistic and said there's no hope. But these days, some of our very biggest companies are acting remarkably cleanly. And in some cases, although not all cases, the CEOs are the driving forces behind that.
One of the great dilemmas for America will be that American companies will do very well while American workers might not.
No one is born a CEO, but no one tells you that.

We're only going to be able to compete in the world if we continue to be innovative.
We all love people who give credit to others for their success. Companies would probably do better with CEOs who didn't blow their own horn and ask for ridiculous salaries and new yachts every year.
Our job as leaders is to find those innovators and release their mojo - lean startup-style - to serve the American people better.
Every venture capitalist says at some point, 'I wish I could run this company myself' - to be the entrepreneur instead of the investor.
