Tom Shea’s Personal Philosophy of Work
Each of us is born as CEO of our own company for life.
Everyone has a set of ever developing portable skills that we lease out.
Sometimes as a supervisor, vice president, sales person, department
head, etc. for a company or organization.
And sometimes under our own personal brand.
As CEO we are always responsible for the ultimate performance of our
own company.
We must frequently do a performance review:
CFO, CHRO, COO, CMO, CEO
