CEOs Communicating Directly Without Corporate Filters

.@pmarca on why the CEO role was built around saying as little as possible— and why saying nothing is no longer an option: "The job of a corporate CEO for a very long time was to get up on stage and say absolutely nothing." "In the past, communication channels were super narrow. How could you get a message through to the mass market or your audience or your customer base?" "You had to crystallize everything down to this minimal, least-offensive possible position. But it's always been unnatural because, as human beings, it never felt right." "If the people who are actually making the calls show up, talk on their own behalf, explain themselves, and actually say what they think, it blows everybody's minds."
