#104 | Why Most CEOs Are Bad Investors
What is the actual job of a CEO, and why do most leaders fail at the one thing that truly drives shareholder returns? In this episode, we break down the mechanics of capital allocation, look at the playbook used by history's greatest outsider CEOs, and examine why conventional business metrics often lead investors astray.
Credits to William Thorndike and his excellent book: The Outsiders - Eight Unconventional CEOs and Their Radically Rational Blueprint for Success.
