When asked to give some advice to someone new in the role, he said to be ready to wear many hats. John is used this; he has to stay on top of all the engines on the company's tracks (marketing, sales, development, etc) and where they are headed in the coming days or weeks. Knowing the objectives of different departments is just the beginning; you must also develop genuine relationships with the heads of these departments.
