As long as the company lived up to performance standards, each CEO was free to run his company as he saw fit. I never minded a CEO making a mistake. I had made mistakes, lots of big ones; I expected them to make mistakes as they moved forward. ‘Business is a continual risk,’ I reminded them. If you don’t take risks, you’re not a manager, you’re a caretaker.
