Visionary Executive Series: Balancing Results & People w/ CEO Alan Whitman

Your Work Friends

We are kicking off a brand new series called Visionary Executives. There are a lot of cool leaders out there that are doing really interesting work and bringing people in business together in a way that everyone wins.
So, today, we start this series to talk with executives the leading edge stuff they're doing and what you can take away from that, either as an employee or as an executive yourself.
And we're stoked to start with Alan Whitman, the former Chairman and CEO of Baker Tilly. Alan's known for being a progressive leader. But what we we're interested in is how he was able to balance business results (he 3X'd the firm during his tenure) with the people stuff (he was voted #1 Advisory CEO on Glassdoor).
We cover the big stuff: WTH do CEOs actually do? How DID he balance results and people? What's critical for CEOs to nail?
...to the elephants in the room: Should CEOs make as much money as they do? Should they take paycuts over layoffs? Are most of them pathological or cool?
This is an inspiring conversation with a leader you is equally so.
More about Alan.
