Friedberg contrasts board service as waiting versus CEO role as making things happen daily.
“I said to someone, it feels like when you're on the board, every day you're waiting for shit to happen.”
Friedberg contrasts board service versus CEO role: boards wait for events while CEOs drive them.
“Yeah. And that's what it feels like to me, you know, being able to step back into an operating role as CEO again”
Friedberg explains CEOs drive business outcomes while board members cannot control or lead companies from board seats.
“I cannot control a company, I cannot direct a company, I cannot lead a company from the board.”
Friedberg argues politicians exploit emotional responses rather than pursuing realistic solutions to get votes.
“and I think the politicians take advantage of it. I think that they feed into it in a way that doesn't actually look into realistic solutions. It's about inciting emotional responses to get themselves votes.”
