Short excerpt from a Mike Andes YouTube video advising that executives should keep personal disagreements private and present a united front.

Every relationship has that. I know you respect the cardone's. They have disagreement and I bet they're pretty heated the way that Elena is. They are very heated. But they do not show that they are a united front in front of everyone, publicly. Because that's what their team needs to see and that's what their investors need to see. That's what their customers need to see. Your customers do not need to see that the two executives in this company are bickering and fighting on anything. Yes, I appreciate you being open and vulnerable, but your wife, you do not say I disagree with her on something to someone that's 2 minutes, 3 minutes in. It creates ill will on her end. Yeah, it's true. See, this is my problem. I appreciate you being open and honest, but that's something that you just don't cross. Not only executive, but your wife. It is your fault. It's your fault. It's your fault. If you're the owner of the business and you want to be the quote, boss, everything's your fault. Including what your executives do. Okay?
