However, Chester Nimitz proved to be just the man for the job, the perfect CEO in troubled and perilous times.
** He was flexible. The battleships were out under his command and aircraft carriers in. he deployed them ably.
** He got the Navy moving again immediately, sending the aircraft carrier Enterprise out against the Japanese.
** He used his head and trusted his instincts.
** He took calculated risks.
** He trusted his people.
These are traits all CEOs should strive to achieve.
