The reason I've been able to maintain my position of chairman of CBS in addition to all the Viacom stuff is my team.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I take great pride in all the tremendous success we've enjoyed at CBS. And the good news is that I feel even more enthusiastic about what my terrific team and I will accomplish going forward.
Obviously I've got a great team of people within the company. You can't operate all by yourself. We have a good board of directors and a big bench, and they can make decisions if I'm not around.
The best board members aren't elected by default. CEOs that set themselves up with their choice of board member - which means getting more than one term sheet and doing extensive reference checking - are better off.
Just because you are CEO, don't think you have landed. You must continually increase your learning, the way you think, and the way you approach the organization. I've never forgotten that.
I've got an opportunity that not many people have - to be the leader of Team Sky as I enter the prime years of my career.
I'm going to continue doing my thing and work my butt off to add value for shareholders and as long as they and the board see fit to keep me in this role, I feel enormously privileged to serve.
You know, my role as Vice Chairman is a lot less tiring than playing matches every three days.
I know as a manager you have to abide by the chairman's decisions. But his decisions were this team, that team, this player, that player. The chairman is a control freak.
I have decided to quit as I.P.L. Chairman. It is a decision which I was pondering over for some time.
I am thrilled to be joining 'CBS News' and to have the opportunity to collaborate with some of our profession's most talented journalists.
