When you’re the CEO of a company, you deal with enormous pressure knowing that you’re the last line of defense.
My entire day is about putting out fires.
I have to deal with things like HR issues, client problems, even roof leaks in our Chattanooga office…
And I love it.
Really enjoyed sitting down with Michael Ovitz at Summit to talk about what it takes to be a CEO and running a business in a “post-internet” world. Check it out and leave me your $.02 in the comments!
