Top 3 Value Bombs 1. Proven CEOs bet on themselves with performance-based upside, while unproven leaders seek guaranteed protection. 2. Great operators speak in "we" and "us," crediting teams, while insecure leaders default to "I" and "my." 3. If there's doubt during a leadership hire, there's no doubt; the right operator feels obvious.
