Time and again I have argued against facile comparisons of various non-business-world figures to CEOs. I’m getting nowhere. Just last weekend I saw a reference to George W. Bush as having the management style of “a big-picture CEO.” Why bother pointing out that some CEOs are big-picture types and others are micromanagers? Why bother noting that the same variation occurs among any set of leaders, from politicians to baseball managers? So I give up. I’m joining the pack. I’ve decided that it’s possible, after all, to consider any public figure through the lens of corporate leadership. Today, then, we will consider the management style of Ozzy Osbourne.

w1ld: humorious at best.
