At the end of the day, if you're a professional athlete in track and field you are the CEO of your company.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We do not use managers, we are the representatives of our athletes, and that is why I am deeply involved in athletics, I follow our athletes careers from start to finish, 100% all the way.
No one is born a CEO, but no one tells you that.
I've been wondering for a while now if the CEO role is one that I want - and the one that I'm best at.
I used to think my job as a CEO meant managing metrics and meeting goals, but I've realised now that's it's about managing my board and employees.
The chief strategist of an organization has to be the leader - the CEO.
Every time a new CEO came, I got a promotion till I was made CEO myself.
You have great athletic directors, you let them run it; you keep yourself informed, but I'm not the athletic director. I'm the president of the university.
Strategy is not really a solo sport - even If you're the CEO.
Clearly, every company needs a leader. That's an important part of being the CEO of the company.
The best CEOs I know are teachers, and at the core of what they teach is strategy.
