It’s easy to say when you’re a CEO and “work” consists of a series of meetings over lunch that you don’t pay for and making decisions based on data that has already been processed and analyzed by multiple layers of underlings.

    I'm not sure he even does that, according to the article, he goes to meetings from business open to close then fires off a few emails here and there. This dude's most marketable skill is filling space in a chair while people talk around or at him for 10 hours. Fucking billionaires.

    I guarantee that several times a week at least one of those “meetings” is a €500/plate lunch that lasts 3 hours and involves maybe 5 minutes of business talk.

    Yes, that’s sometimes necessary. The other person at the dinner has a lot of power, is well connected, of has sometime the company wants or needs.

    So you make them feel good and talk friendly, make them feel important and smart. That builds the trust to decide to get into a multi million dollar contract.

    The real business bonding happens when you do cocaine and spitroast an escort together.
