[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thus, when you screw up at work, I presume you expect to be fired immediately, regardless of the severity of the screw up. Certainly, if Komen continues to screw up, I will cease my support. But, as with friends and family (and, hopefully, your employer), I will give Komen a pass this time. Nobody died. Nobody stole money or property here. Nobody commited a crime or even a civil violation. Komen simply made a bone headed decision, which it then reversed.

Nancy has to go. This was her job and she f***ed up.

A CEO’s responsibilities: everything, especially in a startup. The CEO is responsible for the success or failure of the company. Operations, marketing, strategy, financing, creation of company culture, human resources, hiring, firing, compliance with safety regulations, sales, PR, etc.—it all falls on the CEO’s shoulders.

The CEO’s duties are what she actually does, the responsibilities she doesn’t delegate. Some things can’t be delegated. Creating culture, building the senior management team, financing road shows, and, indeed, the delegation itself can be done only by the CEO.

If you had any real knowledge of startups, you would know that startup executives make bad decisions all the time.  The issue is not whether, but when and how they respond.  Ask any sucessful CEOs.  By any measure, Komen has been a great success.  That does not mean that Komen has made no mistakes.[/quote]
