Franzi: You have outlined a “Support Structure for Success” of the top executive. In it you suggest a CEO have an outside Executive Group and Belong to a CEO Peer Group outside their firm. Would you take us through your thinking and what you why you feel they are so important?
DiGiammarino: CEOs who participate in peer forums help each other become great CEOs and better people. Specifically:
