Now this isn’t meant to poke fun at CEOs, but wow! Today is the day for many a resignation. See this article from Bloomberg about McAfee and CNET. Do you understand what the fuss is all about? Hey, they just changed a few dates to make reality a little different than what it really was.
Not shocked here about the problem. We (American Culture) have been playing this game of truth-lite. You know what I mean…wink, wink, nudge, nudge. But we are now seeing the results of this insane logic. Sadly, the next group of executives (hopefully the ethical ones) are going to be so hamstrung by regulatory/legal scrutiny, not to mention employee cynicism, that getting on with the business of business will be very difficult.
