Re: CEO's
said by DataRiker  :CEO corporate spin always amazes me. Why not just be honest? Part of a CEO's job is to be 'cheerleader in chief'. They're supposed to talk up the company and the industry and make everyone feel good about their future prospects.

No, a CEO should be concerned with running a good company, which includes being honest. People respect honesty.
I remember after Katrina the president of COX was constantly on TV basically saying "sorry we are massively F'd up don't expect good service for a while (human and technical), please be patient with us", and people respected that. |

Your definition of a good company is different than that of a CEO's. Their definition of a good company is one that is profitable and sets new quarterly records every quarter, period.

BUT if you refuse to see the trends and admit you need to move into a different direction and quit holding onto the old ways then you WON'T make profits and you'll eventualy run your business into the ground. So their actions are totally illogical no matter how you look at it. |

| Except that running businesses into the ground IS the new successful company. All for the free government money, after all.
