Apparently, he thinks it's exactly like being a CEO:
Asked how being a senator would be different than being a CEO, Johnson said it wouldn’t differ much.
“My tendency is to talk to people you do know, and try to reach consensus,” Johnson said. “In the end you have to build a consensus and get everybody to agree to move forward. The same thing can be true in Washington.”
Although seeing that Johnson's only experience as a "CEO" is heading up a subsidiary corporation his in-laws set him up with, perhaps he is not entirely clear on what a CEO actually does, either.
