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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't understand why people whose entire lives or their corporate success depends on communication, and yet they are led on occasion by CEOs who cannot talk their way out of a paper bag and don't care to.
I think most CEOs think their stock is undervalued, probably.
Everything ultimately becomes the CEO's problem, no matter where it starts. I can see why some CEOs crack under the pressure.
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.
When the CEO makes a decision, people don't come back on it.
One of the things I've had the advantage of, growing up and being close to the top management of this company and other companies for most of my life, is seeing how CEOs start to believe in their own infallibility. And that really scares me.
Most companies don't have a good mechanism to give the CEO real, honest feedback.
We're all shareholders. These guys below me, they see the CEO taking it easy, it's their money.
I think, you know, a fellow CEO said to me that the interesting thing about being CEO that's really striking is that you have very few decisions that you need to make, and you need to make them absolutely perfectly.
Whether you stay private or go public, after all is said and done, a CEO's job is to create lasting shareholder value.
