Today, I am here
to answer as an expert whether some CEOs act unprofessionally and yell at their
people?
For many who have
worked one on one with CEOs, the question is laughable. Yet, there are those
who believe a CEO remains calm and steady.
I’ve worked
closely with four CEO’s.
Two were
certifiably crazy. One was a dim bulb, the other a smart bulb.
(One of those crazy
CEOs became our Secretary of Defense for a time)
Another of the four
CEOs seemed a bit psychotic. He was always insisting someone at the table
wouldn’t come out alive from the meeting, but other than the constant death
threats, he seemed rational and intelligent. (He’s in charge of major car
company now.)
The final one was
sane, highly intelligent and even tempered. (So naturally, the board got rid of
him in short order.)
Therefore, when comparing
Trent to the real CEOs I’ve dealt with, I have to say, Trent actually seems
well-behaved.
But let’s compare
him to Space CEO’s.
First: Captain
James Kirk. I know, he wasn’t a CEO, but he ran a ship, so he’s the equivalent
of a CEO.
Okay, Trent lost
this contest by space light years. But for the record, so did the four real
CEO’s. Even the nice, sane one wasn’t this riveting and compelling.
Now this one of
Kirk is right up there with the two crazy CEOs I had.
And back on earth,
here’s Steve Ballmer of Microsoft, Harvard grad, behaving like he got into
Carrie’s narcotic turtles before arriving on stage
So what have we
learned today?
CEO’S BEHAVE BADLY
Because they can.
And being crazy
keeps your people on their toes.
Now that I’ve
confirmed Trent’s behavior is NOT ABNORMAL for an Earth CEO, but is far less
than Kirk’s, even on a good day, let’s
check out the second book of A Long Road to Love.

Road To Love
Humorous
Contemporary Disaster Romance

Blurb:
Carrie Hanson is in love with a different species: Trent, a
pampered, uber-rich socialite who’s also her boss. Everyone keeps telling her
it’s a train wreck looking to happen, but her heart wants what it wants. So
despite the billion and one reasons not to, Carrie commits to this
inter-species relationship. But while she's off being trained for her new job
responsibilities, a beautiful ex fiancée is working hard to get Trent back and
Carrie fired.
Excerpt:
Carrie glanced up at Trent. “Can I have one of your
business cards?”
He handed one over, curious why Carrie wanted it. She
flipped it over and wrote, These bills
were given to Miss Claire as an act of charity. They are hers to spend.
She handed Trent the card. “Sign it, please.”
He signed the card and Carrie presented it to the old
woman.
Her eyes rounded as she read it. “You know my name.”
“We’ve talked before.”
“Right. You’re the nice girl who pointed out how much
cheaper it would be for me to buy a monthly card instead of paying the daily
rate. I appreciated your advice. I’ve been able to buy better food and even had
money saved up so, when I got sick, I could get well enough to keep working.”
She patted Carrie’s arm. “I’m glad you got yourself a good man. You deserve
it.”
Carrie glanced up at him and smiled. “He is a good man.”
She whispered in the old woman’s ear. Whatever she said
cause the woman’s forehead to furrow.
She thrust the bills into Carrie’s hand. “I appreciate the
thought, but I can’t take your money. But thank you both. You’re good people,
and the world could use more like you.”
To his shock, Carrie didn’t argue. She only hugged the
woman. “You are good people, too.”
Half the crowded train watched the fiasco. Great! Not only
had the old woman rejected his act of charity, but a mob of commuters had
witnessed his failed attempt at being a “good person.” His grandmother had to
be thrashing in her grave.
