They Are Not You

As the CEO, you have a unique perspective on the business. Do not expect others to share it.

As the CEO, you are responsible for every aspect of the company’s operation, its successes, and its failures.  Others within the organization may have similar feelings but will probably be primarily focused on their individual areas of responsibilities.  They will probably be acting on what they think is the company’s best interest, but, in fact, may not have the same interpretation of what that is as you do.  Accept the fact that this misalignment will probably occur.  Managing course corrections is part of your job.
