But if the CEO ends up being the only person who usually says yes, and isn't willing to delegate it to others, that's showing a lot of fiscal ignorance, as well as an inability to manage. | |

But a company that isn't willing to manage often seems to not really care when they aren't using their money well either. Or not be able to recognize it. | |
