When you're the CEO, you take responsibility.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was president of the company, I said, 'Okay, I can do this - piece of cake.' Then when you are the CEO, the responsibilities multiply enormously because you worry about everything.
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.
I accept that responsibility and ask only that I be judged by my performance as its chief executive.
Clearly, as a CEO, you have other functions that are managed by other people.
I have to take responsibility for anything that happened within its businesses.
I become the face of the company, and that's a responsibility.
If you want a CEO role, you have to prepare for it with a vengeance.
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.
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.
