A CEO need not be receptive to all my input. It's more important to move fast and decisively. If you’re cooking a dosa, someone will suggest adding sugar, butter and eggs to bake a cake. You can’t be receptive to that input and add some cake ingredients to the dosa batter — you’ll make a mess. It’s okay not to even listen to such advice. Not because baking a cake is a bad idea, or because the suggestion will result in a bad cake, but because that’s not what we’re cooking here.
