Wayman's bio

Another CFO turned CEO. Nothing will change unless Wayman (Rainman) knows
the rule of CEO (which is lost among most US company CEO's).

CEO rule:
The letters in CEO should remind those with the title what the order of
importance is :

C: Customers
E: Employees
O: Owners (Stock holders).

Too many CEOs with CFO mentalities typically reverse this or put the last
before the rest.

A good lead for a company come from a CEO who puts them in the right order,
therefore making the company strong for the service it provides, which in
turn keeps the Stock holders happy.

Placing the stockholders first will not drive your customers to be happy.

IMO, which is why I'm just a lowly engineer saying "O-rings crack when cold"
instead of making the big bucks like Curly or Rainman.
