Link. Great description of life a CEO “.. national political campaign is disorienting for someone who’s spent his or her entire adult life as a successful CEO. It can be the first time in decades that he or she is actually being held personally accountable for the results of their actions. A CEO directs and enacts a plan to cut costs wherever possible or impossible. The capos under his command are told to ignore a law if costs of compliance are greater than the cost of fines and litigation. He funnels gargantuan amounts of lobbying money towards the elimination of any governmental oversight at all. And then, after 4.9 billion gallons of oil spill into the Gulf of Mexico, who gets the blame? The tip of the spear. Never the hand that threw it.”
