"Be wary of advice from people who suffer no consequences if that advice is wrong" - someone
If I'm a CEO, I'm going to take advice from people who are successful CEO's, then people who have been CEO's longer than I have, then my peers, THEN maybe everyone else. MAYBE. But doubtful.
Most of these "executive coach" positions are cheerleaders, and for sure cheerleaders have a purpose, but advice aint it.
It's one thing if we're talking about an investor who has watched many CEO's over the years, it's another if it's a dude who is paid to give soundbites.
