Well actually, no it’s not. Don’t fall into the rut of allowing your business to be trapped in a perpetual state of static thinking.

Also, a common response is to confuse a sales engine, fulfillment process, operational process, technology platform, or any number of other areas as business models, where this is not the case.

So the real question is this…how does a CEO get to the point of being so disconnected from operations that he or she just doesn’t have a clue?

Give me real leaders who possess courage, vision, and a bias toward action, and spare me the timidity of mediocre managers posing as leaders.
