🔗 The Case for the Executive Chair

I annotated this in the middle of 2024 with the intention to share, it’s pretty damming.

Only one or two directors on the typical 11-member board say they understand industry economics and how the company makes money. Two or three say they have little or no understanding.

Exactly in line with my observations - failure to understand leads to a focus on history, compliance and not losing - because they don’t even understand how to grow and win.

🖇️ You might not be surprised to learn that I have a fix. It’s called The Business Equation

I like both actors - so despite the warnings of ‘the new diehard’ I ploughed ahead. it was a fine movie - but both actors have substantially better performances and films/shows on their cv.

Confusion will be my epitaph

As I crawl a cracked and broken path

If we make it we can all sit back and laugh

But I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying

Which reminds me.

When you engage with your LLM of choice, do you say ‘good morning’, ‘thankyou’, ‘please’ … all that nicety stuff?

Bonus question .. regardless of your answer have you tried doing it the other way?

Do the results seem better or worse?
