I don't think anyone is suggesting that a strong CEO is not needed to take the burden off John so he can concentrate on the technology.  I'm not sure we have a strong CEO especially if he's only committed to working 1/2 the hours of the original staff.  If he is truly committed he would have agreed to move to New York where the plant is or HQ'ed JBII's corporate offices in Florida where he and the office staff could be near the 1st JV development.  Why remain in St. Louis except for personal reasons - that's not a commitment from a CEO of a start-up company with such huge global potential.
