Ann: CEO Succession, page-134

I don't care to be liked. This isn't a popularity contest.

It should be a place for objective discussion.

What I'm amazed at is the intense campaign of hatred.

This is so bad in here that DT was even briefed on me! ME!?

ONE shareholder is such a danger that the then incoming CEO had to be briefed?

No doubt by MS, or GC or a combination.

I had to work hard to get him to see that I wasn't a monster. He got it.

In fact what I wanted for the company was what he wanted. He got that too.

We had a robust but civil discussion. One which no doubt he now has cause to recall.
