“So you should be a CEO if you love leading. If you hate leading, you need to figure out how to love it if you want to be CEO. That's just the reality. You like to make big decisions, maybe those high-risk decisions, and really set that direction, getting everyone behind you to follow you into that one direction. Are you comfortable making really quick strategic calls, even if they feel fricking risky? If you don’t have that gut feeling like “ugh,” then you're not making a risky enough decision. I feel like business is all about taking risks.” – Danielle
