Saw a CEO spend 20 minutes on a slide deck font size during a board prep meeting
I was in a strategy session last Thursday and the CEO kept stopping the discussion to zoom in on font sizes. We had 11 slides to review and 45 minutes. Two slides got actual content feedback. The rest was about margins. I get wanting things to look good but we missed talking about a 3 million dollar revenue risk because everyone was afraid to interrupt. Has anyone else dealt with a leader who just cannot let go of the small stuff?

Did the CEO at least have decent font taste or was it Comic Sans the whole time? I once had a boss who would stop every presentation to adjust the kerning which is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic if you ask me.
