00:00 - 00:03 | We have asked many for applications |
00:04 - 00:05 | to be our next CEO. |
00:05 - 00:07 | We have asked people from grain, |
00:08 - 00:12 | agronomy and energy, |
00:12 - 00:15 | and the private sector. |
00:17 - 00:19 | Narrow the candidates down. |
00:19 - 00:21 | Bring the top 100 to me so I can choose. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Sir... |
00:27 - 00:28 | Nobody |
00:31 - 00:33 | Nobody wants to work for this board... |
00:34 - 00:36 | ...especially you. |
00:53 - 00:58 | If you do not think I should run for the CHS board, leave the room |
01:13 - 01:15 | Who wouldn't want to work here?!? |
01:15 - 01:17 | We have a massive retail center in New Town! |
01:18 - 01:23 | It's almost 100,000 square feet! |
01:25 - 01:28 | We hired CHS's best employees. |
01:29 - 01:31 | They are shaking in their boots! |
01:31 - 01:34 | We even allowed our management |
01:34 - 01:37 | to have offices in Minot! |
01:37 - 01:40 | That's not even our trade area! |
01:40 - 01:42 | But sir we fire every 3 years |
01:42 - 01:46 | Which is their fault! They don't listen to me! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, we should let the CEO run the coop. |
01:48 - 01:52 | You want them to run the cooperative?!? |
01:53 - 01:54 | I'm the chairman! |
01:56 - 01:57 | The CEO works for me |
01:57 - 02:00 | and will do what I say |
02:00 - 02:03 | when I say it. |
02:04 - 02:08 | When I tell him to jump |
02:08 - 02:13 | he should not question, but simply ask me: |
02:14 - 02:16 | "How high should I jump?" |
02:17 - 02:21 | I'm sick of CEO's that think they run the cooperative! |
02:27 - 02:29 | We are the best cooperative in North Dakota. |
02:30 - 02:34 | The best cooperative ever built! |
02:34 - 02:36 | I built this. |
02:41 - 02:42 | We will continue to build |
02:43 - 02:47 | and spend more money. |
02:48 - 02:53 | The banks will not tell us no |
02:54 - 02:56 | because we will be too big to fail! |
02:56 - 02:59 | Until we are the largest cooperative in North Dakota |
03:00 - 03:02 | we will not stop! |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's ok. He does this every three years. |
03:14 - 03:16 | They say we should merge. |
03:19 - 03:23 | Look to the West. Williston. |
03:25 - 03:26 | I will name myself CEO. |
03:31 - 03:33 | I will lead us to greatness. |
03:40 - 03:46 | We will continue to spend and build |
03:46 - 03:49 | until we are the largest cooperative |
03:53 - 03:56 | and I'm board chairman. |
