The vibe I’ve gotten from listening to these interviews is that KO seemed to be perfect in that seat next to JC, but didn’t seem to have the moxie, skill set, whatever you want to call it, to sit in the lead chair. Seems like he balanced keeping people happy with pushing them, falling on the side of happiness if those two things conflicted one another.
DH on the other hand seems to be a guy that wants and embraces the uncomfortable conversations & moments, cause he is more confident in the “big picture”
Just an opinion...
