From a start in management more than 30 years ago at a bankrupt medical devices company to the CEO of a Fortune 500 company with 18,000 employees, Dan Starks doesn’t think his job has changed that much. “Same fundamentals,” he said.
Starks, who will step aside at the end of the year as CEO of St. Jude Medical, isn’t arguing that he spends his days now the same way he did in the late 1980s. But he also doesn’t spend his time the way some CEOs of other big companies he’s observed do, being what he called “administrators.”
