INPUT ARTICLE: Article: As CEO, you don't get to sit in your cushy office and let your subordinates deal with everything but the most important decisions. Rather, an effective CEO is always in the thick of things: visiting every department, assisting with any task they are qualified to assist with, speaking to employees, and listening to their feedback. Welcome everyone's inputask workers what they need, encourage suggestions for change and improvement, and make it clear that you take the employees seriously. However, always keep it clear that you are the final authority. Provide avenues for anonymous feedbacksuch as webforms or the old-fashioned suggestion boxbut also give opportunities for employees to come in and talk to you directly. A CEO can't be a good leader if other people don't want to follow them. Employees want someone they can trust and respect leading the way. Stick to your principles, be true to your word, and treat others the way you wish to be treated. If, for example, you insist that inappropriate behavior won't be tolerated, follow through and refuse to tolerate it. If you claim to care what other people think, listen to them when they have something to say. Show them that the company believes in them enough to let them keep trying until they make itas long as they are good enough at their jobs to make it in a big way when they do. Encourage productivity by encouraging risk-taking and personal judgment calls. You always have the last word if something is a poor fit for the business. To succeed in your job as the CEO, you must be willing to trust your people to do their jobs. Make sure you have the right people in the proper roles, then give them the space to support the greater good of the company. People who learn and improve from mistakes are in the right jobs; people who don't need to be reassigned or replaced. As a CEO, you'll be a natural target for criticism from people both inside and outside your business. Employees, board members, shareholders, analysts, and competitors will all express doubts and level critiques at you. To be successful, you have to be able to brush off the sting of criticisms without ignoring any kernels of truth that may exist within them. For example, if someone criticizes you for being too inflexible, are you able to set aside any self-doubt about your ability to be a leader? And, at the same time, are you self-aware and self-confident enough to re-evaluate your strategies as needed?

SUMMARY: Talk and listen to workers to stay connected to the company. Earn trust and show respect so people want to follow you. Set high expectations for your workers, but accept mistakes. Develop a thick skin, but don't ignore criticism.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If using long zucchini, halve the squash crosswise. Soak zucchini 30 minutes in cold water to soften the squash. Using an apple corer or a special zucchini corer , hollow out the zucchini, trying to scoop out the centers so all you have left are zucchini "tubes" that will hold the meat stuffing. Don't throw out the zucchini flesh. Instead, chop it up and set it aside to use for the stuffing later. Brown ground veal 4 minutes until it is golden brown and the oil has absorbed evenly. Using a slotted spoon, transfer browned ground veal to a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Leave the remaining fat in the skillet. In same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute 2 minutes until gold and fragrant. Remove garlic with a slotted spoon and discard it, leaving behind garlic-infused oil. Add reserved chopped zucchini flesh to the skillet and saute 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Then transfer sauteed zucchini flesh to the bowl containing the ground veal. Mix zucchini flesh and ground veal to combine. Fill the zucchini tubes with the stuffing. In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil 1-2 minutes over medium-high heat. Place as many stuffed zucchini tubes that can fit in a single layer in the skillet without overcrowding or dropping oil temperature too much. Sear zucchini 10 minutes total on all sides, turning stuffed squash when needed. Once zucchini has been seared, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a platter. Repeat this with any remaining zucchini until they are all cooked, reserving cooking fat in skillet. Season stuffed squash with salt and black pepper then add dry white wine to the skillet, bringing it back to a boil. Add tomatoes to the skillet. (Alternately, you can used canned diced tomatoes if you wish to save time.) Turn zucchini tubes from time to time, making sure that they cook evenly. When stuffed squash is fork-tender, remove skillet from heat. Wait at least 5 minutes for them to cool a bit before serving.
