The Master CEO

The Master CEO
Here is the sign of a master CEO.

Someone who can bend the world to their will.

Sure they struggle like the rest of us, but at some point they create momentum.

And this momentum seems to make everything – everyone – around them move at their wish.

I think Gary Vaynerchuk, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos are probably examples of this.

Maybe Peter Thiel too.

The point is to watch out for these people…and get on their coattails if possible.

And don’t ever be foolish enough to bet against them.

You should never take financial advice from cartoonists, but let me tell you one thing that feels safe to share: If the CEO of a publicly traded company is routinely described as having a “reality distortion field”—as was the case with Steve Jobs—keep an eye on that company. That’s a sign of a Master Persuader.
-Scott Adams, Win Bigly
