Who Chairs Your Board?
Aug 25, 2026
Different characters run your business.
The technician loves the doing and feels fulfilled in the doing. The worker, the expert. I am the electrician, the lawyer, the florist — a worker label you apply to yourself as a business person.
The CEO sees the business as a machine — a system to be built, every moving part perfected, until it produces a sellable, profitable asset.
The investor allocates funds to the venture and asks only: how much return, how fast, at what risk.
The CEO reports to the investor.
In most businesses, that meeting has never been held. The technician runs everything, wearing all three titles.
How strong each character is — and which reports to which — decides what your business becomes.
