...but when you listen to the news, all you hear about is excessive compensation, ponzi schemes, lavish decorating allowances, etc. No wonder people think CEO’s are jerks. As I listened to the hysteria, I thought, “My dad’s a CEO and he’s not a jerk. And he has some CEO friends who aren’t jerks (well, one is). We need some positive CEO portraits”, and voila’… NotAllCEOsAreJerks.com. If you’re a CEO and you’re not a jerk, upload a picture or video of yourself doing something nice. Building a water filtration plant in Kenya by hand? Show me. Even smaller things like teaching your dog a trick, reading to your kids, ballroom dancing, singing, juggling, inventing, fishing, joke telling, charitable activities… that’s what I’m talking about. Don't forget to post in the forums, vote in the polls, leave the CEOs some comments. Clever is good. But anything is better than nothing.
