Sentiment: POSITIVE
Visionary CEOs don't need someone else to demo the company's key products for them. They deeply understand products, and they have their own coherent and consistent vision of where the industry/business models and customers are today, and where they need to take the company.
Visionary CEOs are not 'just' great at assuring world-class execution of a tested and successful business model: they are also world-class innovators.
Visionary CEOs are product- and business-model-centric and extremely customer focused.
