excerpt via @jerrycolonna’s guest post, the management team
the magic, the alchemy, occurs when what we do mixes with who we are
…and is cooked by the heat of what we believe.

don’t confuse the desire to please with the obligation to listen.
a good CEO takes in lots of feedback from smart people, is a keen listener and extracts the best insights from each. but just because feedback was offered doesn’t mean it needs to be taken.
be respectful but be firm. and by all means, be a leader.
”In a perfect world, you will have a team at the top of a company that includes the founder(s) and a group of top notch operating executives. They should operate as a team and like, respect, and engage each other in the key issues.
The person who is making the final call may change from time to time. In times when you need great creativity and risk taking, you probably want a founder in that role. In times when you need focus, discipline, and execution, you probably want an operating executive in that role.
And if you can’t have a founder, like Apple right now, then you want the next best person, whomever that might be.
