Should a good CEO focus on shareholders and the business?

It's the CEO's job to focus on company profits. That's the shareholder perspective. The CEO hires executives and managers to focus on the customers. It's not an "either" "or" thing.

Don't fall for the B.S. that company profits are somehow bad. That kind of stuff is spewed by political extremists who want to get class warfare all whipped up so they can benefit. Those ilk of people think it's great when their 401k's earn lots of money for their retirement from oil and manufacturing stocks, but they'll hypocritically attack anyone else who earns money from those activities. Profit is nothing more than a reflection of value to customers. Personally, I'm glad Bill Gates is one of the richest people in the world. He created more value than most anyone throughout history.
