Time is the scarcest resource for CEOs: Harvard Business School study

Michael Porter, Harvard Business School professor, discusses his latest study on how executives manage their time.

Bad vibes coming from the interviewers. Their guest provided insightful information and I appreciate it.

[MJ-hhtm]

Why are these reporters constantly cutting the guest off? Poor manners and terrible interviewing skills!

[donsajith]

You don't cut off Michael Porter! That's the God of Corporate strategy!

[davidpuente]

Jerks!! the man is passionate about the subject, the dude at the end what kind of question is that? Read it and you will understand and open your eyes that comparing a CEO's responsibility to a line work is apples and oranges

[AG-dtwe]

4:36 Good CEOs have lone time
4:55 Email is becoming poisonous
6:08 : CEO get work done through others

[kevingray]

Let the guy talk! Jesus!!! he is talking about a 3 month research that is very interesting and these reporters are just interrupting his ideas.

I have this to add.
Running my own company, I am the only one there which means I am everything from a Janitor, Mailman, Craftsman. Logistics and Purchasing courier to Director.
Yes salary is great, I do organize my own time and pacing of work but it also requires me to be multi talented and very well organized. The web of responsibility and ideas is enormous.
Only a few people are capable of running a small business or coordinating a large one, the easiest job is to clock in for 8 hours, let everyone else do the daily norm and just tip in a little bit of r own effort then go home and forget about everything.

Uhmmmm we don’t interrupt or argue with Michael Porter, thanks.

[benwilliams]

I love how he didn’t allow to cut him off!

[CageFreeLowFatSugarFreeRange]

You can feel the insecurity coming from all those people it's honestly funny how they outed themselves though lol😊

[Adbee]

The blatant disrespect and the know-it-all air interviewers carried. Our company CEO is typically the first person in the office and the last one to leave. He is a family man, barely takes breaks, and eats a quick 15-minute lunch. Yeah, it's delivered, but never indulgent- just a quick wrap or a salad. He is not pretentious like these two were and is serious about his work. I honestly pray for him for his well-being. Because to do what he does day in and day out is an enigma.

[christopherarmstrong]

He’s definitely got a point about the emails!

[jerryoverton]

Why have him on if you're going to be so dismissive? My takeaway was just to bypass the interviewers and read the report directly.

[williamsc]

Interviewers were horrible & uninformed… and closed minded

[pdbdirz]

worst interviewers. Though if I made 1, 000, 000 EUR/ GBP per year, I would certainly not need someone saying how “tiring and demanding my job” is . I teach business too and what he said about CEOs is largely true but that still doesnt justify for some of them to be paid 50x more than their secretary! it really doesnt regardless how much respknsibility they have.

[RonaldRyanj]

Those interviewers need more training…

[althe]

Actually haven't books been written about what CEOs do, how they spend their time, and how successful that is?

[tgkzo]

They kept cutting him off when he was speaking. Pretty annoying

[julieb]

These news anchors questions are insufferable

[lenamarselis]

I think the only point the reporter has remembered is “13bln in revenue”, looks like she also has no clue about the normal turnover for a multinational
