		<description>I watched every episode of this show. They were great and I was amazed at how many CEOs were not capable of doing the jobs they were put into. Some of them seemed real honest, others I&#039;m not so sure of.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I wish more CEOs and other C-level executives would come down to the trenches in their companies to see the good and the bad that their decisions make on the workforce. The ones doing the actual work sometimes have a better pulse on the business than the ones sitting in offices who never get out to meet the actual workers.</description>

		<description>So true and so old fashioned. I&#039;m old enough working with old-time CEO&#039;s (in huge companies!) who took care of all employees, the trust and loyalty were keywords in a successful company / enterprise. The &quot;funny&quot; thing - it worked, all these companies kept growing, everyone happy, etc until they changed to the modern &quot;managed&quot; mode? Most (billion $ companies?) are now gone? Maybe this has something to do with it?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hundreds of cases I remember, delegating the power and responsibility to the level who actually did the job (no, managers don&#039;t work, they facilitate - help to get the results!), asking employees honest questions, asking before the decision the individual who were actually executing the work, seeing everyone as equal (sometimes the most difficult task!), and so on, and so on. Sometimes wonder do such leaders, yes - they are leaders, not managers - exist anymore? Or is everything really today just working for selfish purposes no matter how much you already have, how much it will hurt others - stock holders and employees equally!</description>
