My father was a CEO (he’s now happily retired – well sort of, they sometimes wheel him out if they need to!)

Hi secret was to have very very good people working for him, and to be very very good at managing them.

There were some nights that he wouldn’t be home from work ’til 9 or 10, and times when he was away for a few days at at time, but the number one rule was that we (my mother and I) were more important than work, and staff were under strict instructions that he was to be interrupted WHATEVER he was doing if one of us called and needed him.

He was very successful, and I certainly didn’t lose out on having a Dad.
