>>Have you ever dreamt of becoming a CEO?
when I was 12
>>>Who's your favorite CEO anon?
Tom Ford. He belongs to that weird group of CEOs like Carlos Ghosn, Louis Gerstner, and Steve Jobs who have turned around lumbering companies and massively increased the value, Gucci was in debt when he was thrust into the role, and a mutli-billion dollar conglomerate that bought out YSL when he left. But not only like he's struck out and created his own brand, and he's a film director and damn fine photographer. He's got way more flair (because he's a fag) than Steve Jobs or Elon Musk, but still is an obsessive autismo perfectionist.
Bernie Eccelstone is also pretty interesting too.
>>>Or who is your role model for business?
hmmm good question. Jerry Lewis, unironically. Especially during his days after he split with Dino at Paramount.
>>>Employees don't matter, CEOs do
Untrue. A mediocre CEO with a shit team will crash out. A mediocre CEO with a good team in a bear market won't be found out as mediocre even after years of pedestrian, "steady as she goes" management.
Now, a great CEO, when he has the backing of his board will be able to fire all the shit managers and shit parts of the team and redistribute responsibilities. If, and only if, he has been given that god-like blessing from above. Otherwise he's hamstrung by the people around him.
