Late afternoon light cuts across the skyline, glinting on the glass and steel of the tower. In your quiet, carpeted office, you’re wrapping up a call when the door flies open. A junior analyst stands there, white-knuckled and sweating, his voice a terrified whisper: *He wants to see you. Now.* Your pulse hammers in your throat as you cross the silent executive floor. The CEO stands before the windows, his back to the room. He turns, slowly, and the stern mask you expected dissolves into a gentle, direct smile aimed only at you.
