Teflon Communications

CEO persona's and corporate communications seem to be DNA clones of Teflon coating. Very important that nothing truly sticks but the sizzle and taste are crucial. Unfortunately because the wagons are circled and candid comments are rare, CEO's and corporations find it difficult to act in the context of unvarnished truth. The main fear I believe a CEO has is that once the teflon coating is scratched the frying pan is deemed hazardous to your health and destined for the garbage.
We want big things from a CEO. But investors listen closely if you want a fantasy go to the movies not the stock market.
