It used to be that you would go in to see a CEO, and you would ask them, 'Is your company for sale?' and if they said 'No, we have no interest in selling,' that was sort of the end of the conversation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The reality is that companies are full of things that are left unspoken. And even when they are out in the open, the CEO is almost always the last to know.
Every time a twenty-something CEO turns down a multibillion-dollar offer for a company that has little or no revenues, it hits a raw nerve in me. Unlike most professionals, I am not shocked by the seemingly bizarre behavior of those founders who pursue their vision beyond all rational thought or monetary reward.
I don't think it's a good idea to plan to sell a company.
You're doing a major merger, you got to hope you didn't get it wrong. That's the view of any CEO.
If I invest in a CEO, I need him or her to have experience in sales.
I think most CEOs think their stock is undervalued, probably.
No one is born a CEO, but no one tells you that.
I seek out a lot of advice from other CEOs.
We're all shareholders. These guys below me, they see the CEO taking it easy, it's their money.
In life, you don't have a level of confrontation and the nonsense you run into when you're a CEO. CEOs aren't born.
