Should CEO’s be radically honest?! Cody Plofker has just stepped down as the CEO of Jones Road and in his announcement post he said: “Professionally, I’d rather be building funnels and running ads than managing people and dealing with various BS that comes with being CEO. I haven’t gotten to do the fun stuff in a while.” I’m sure everyone on LinkedIn will have an opinion on this but I personally think it’s refreshing to see people say that something wasn’t their passion. Moving up the career ladder doesn’t always mean you have to become a “people manager”, we should be encouraging people to make the best decision based on their interests and still be able to move up the career ladder, even if they want to focus on their expertise and not spend time managing people. Any thoughts?👇🏼 I’m cheering Cody on for the honesty 👏🏼
