KEY TAKEAWAY

 “I think even when I get up close and personal in talking with CEOs, there's in many ways a belief that they are  all knowledgeable, all powerful, right? And therefore can manage all things. What I found out the closer I get to them is no, they feel just as vulnerable as the next leader, and in many cases, the expectations of them, are beyond their own capabilities. The side difference is who they surround themselves with. So, I'm a firm believer that we can focus on the CEO, but what we really want to learn more about is the team of the CEO, because it's in the team.”
