Hi Mark,

No matter whether we call it management, leadership or something else, it's hard to think of any great company without a great leader at the helm or any tribe without someone passionate to lead them. I agree with Duncan that investors look at companies very differently than do owners or entrepreneurs (or employees for that matter) and not always with the business's long-term well-being at heart.

Hi Mark,

From what I understand about investing, it has nothing to do with "normal" business considerations. A company w/a CEO who treats employees badly may be a better investment than the reverse, just as a business that makes the finest product in its class may not be as good an investment as one that produces average product quality but does much better business.
