The New York Times has a new Sunday Business segment called Corner office.  Here's the first one. I love Greg Brenneman's one page plan. If it cannot be simplified to plain English, don't get tangled up in it.  What he looks for in CEO's to run his businesses:

"And I really test for two things. One is, are they smart enough to do the job? Do they have enough capability to find those two or three levers that really make a difference in a business?"

"The second thing I look for is if I were to get on an airplane with this guy or gal, would I want to fly across the Atlantic with them? Are they nice people to be with? Do you want to be with them?"
