I would think they make big decisions as a group, but if Mike is dead set against something, there is nothing or no one that can stop him as the majority owner of the business.  I'm in the same position as Katie as I have for years run all the day-to-day operations of our company, but if my father (78 years old), who is 51% Owner, does not agree to something (like buy a new building), I will need to persuade him to see things my way.

Not consulting a majority owner on major decisions is a really easy way to upset the apple-cart, especially with aging owners.  It's a balancing act for sure as you don't want to dismiss them due to their age, while also trying to keep the business solvent.  Using them in an consultant role can be good way to get what you want and not alienate them.

Furthermore, You cannot act unilaterally as the business does not belong to you and could also be fired immediately.  Minority owners can also be forced out, but it's a bit more tricky.

I'm not sure if Katie even owns 1% of the team as I would think that would have been documented by now.  It could possibly be in a trust for when Mike passes.  My guess is that she's a salaried employee.

I know we all wish Mike Brown was gone (especially us older fans), but I still see him with my own eyes and until he passes the team on to family or dies, I will never count him out.
