Read it this year. Good intro into how he messed up GE in search of short term profits.
Also a great look at how “myth-olizing” a leader can back fire.

CEOs aren’t gods but some act like it and their people follow.

It’s like woke mind virus. Eventually time goes by and people are like, “what the heck! That wasn’t good”!

He was revered - until he wasn’t.

I see it here with Ed. I don’t think he’s destroying us though but he’s talked about and revered like he’s omnipotent(not among this group). He’s not. He’s an accountant from upstate NY.
