The CEO Who's Not Afraid to Admit He Was Wrong Brian Chesky, co founder and CEO of Airbnb, is an unusual figure in Silicon Valley.
While many leaders prioritize playing it safe, Chesky takes bold risks and isn't afraid to admit when he's made a mistake.
Chesky credits his co founders with pushing him out of his comfort zone and encouraging him to take bigger risks. "The people who build companies tend to be more decisive and have greater authority," he says.
