    When she was on 60 Minutes, Leslie Stahl mentioned the criticisms about Carly not being involved in day to day operations. Carly got all defensive and said she was.

    WRONG! The correct answer is: CEOs are strategists and are concerned with the big picture. The president of the company worries about day to day operations. She shouldn't have been involved with day to day operations. The critics didn't know what they were talking about - they were criticizing the wrong behavior.
