We're all shareholders. These guys below me, they see the CEO taking it easy, it's their money.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My shareholders expect me to make the most profit. That's the ugly, dirty truth.
I think most CEOs think their stock is undervalued, probably.
I don't feel I'm at liberty to speak about the actions of any one CEO. That's not fair; given CEOs have duties to their shareholders.
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.
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.
When you're the CEO, you take responsibility.
Look - this is the terror of being a founder & CEO. It is all your fault. Every decision, every person you hire, every dumb thing you buy or do - ultimately, you're at the end.
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.
CEOs are called by their first names by young whippersnappers. That makes everybody uncomfortable. We need order and structure back in the workplace.
CEOs make hard decisions; sometimes, the least worst is the right one.
