on asking whether you should really be CEO

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2019.11.12

A friend in Australia passed on an article in which a corporate board member spilled the beans about the mis-allocation of millions of dollars towards management consultants who provided little value. "If you can’t work out your own governance processes and your own culture yourself, you ought to be asking yourself should you be leading the company or should you be the CFO," he opined. The scathing quotes appear in Australian Financial Review.
