YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe one with David Droga, as he exits his role as CEO of Accenture Song, about the CEO learning curve, the value of intimidation, friction and starting at the end.
In this episode, releasing as the legendary marketer and executive steps down from the CEO’s role, David and I talk about why every great CEO is a prompter, what it takes to be completely disruptive, how organizational complexity can emerge as a tax on growth, and the enduring (maybe increasing) need for emotional connection.
