A priori, I have little respect for non-founder CEOs.

AFAICT, non-founder CEOs are usually selected for their ability to navigate an organization without pissing others off.

Founder CEOs of large successful long-living companies (at least 7-8 years) survive the trial by fire.
This guy, J. Patrick Doyle, or as I like to call him:

"Pizza Steve Jobs"

Was not a founder CEO. He was plucked from the Gerber baby company to run Domino's.
He had an absolutely phenomenal run.
It's very rare for an outsider non-founder to pull such ballsy, customer focussed moves that work.

I really respect this dude. Had to do a thread after speaking to @MikeRendini, in the context of how solid, but not great Tim cook has been.
