CEO compensation tends to spark strong opinions, especially from the outside, but the reason it exists becomes clearer once you spend time inside the role itself.

In this episode of From Grit to Growth, Jennifer DiMotta and Mark Hasebroock talk through what actually sits behind that paycheck, drawing from years of working alongside founders, boards, and leadership teams when decisions carry real weight. They explore how effective CEOs take ownership when the results miss and move forward with conviction long before perfect information shows up.

The conversation weaves through moments every organization recognizes, like the decision that drags longer than it should, the weak link everyone senses, or the tension between gathering more data and having the courage to act. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of leadership accountability and why titles or visibility don’t define the role at its highest level.
