The relationship between a CEO and COO is a vital one for a business. It’s a yin/yang relationship, where the COO can help to bolster areas where the CEO may be weak, while executing on the CEO’s larger vision.

You’ll also learn the importance of being present to help each other solve problems.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

The importance of core values and taking care of each other.
The warning signs to watch for in a COO/CEO relationship.
And much more…
