Conversation with a CEO

Question Mark
 
In conversation with a CEO earlier this week...

"How much of your work focuses on helping mgmt teams preparing for a potential sale?" he asked.

"Well, it's far from being the only thing that I do..." I replied. " So, I'd say dozens of engagements of that sort, rather than hundreds."

"Oh, good. I like that" said the CEO. "It's so helpful to bring a breadth of experience to these things..."

Never assume you know the agenda behind a question!

What I've appreciated most has been the increased thought the team has been putting into how they come across and what they say. Colleagues in other teams have already commented on the improvement in both skills and confidence.
