Are The New CEOs Any Good?
from the tough-to-find-a-good-CEO-these-days dept
There have been a lot of high profile tech CEO hirings in the past couple of days, and people have been very critical of most of them. It seems that it's tough to find a good tech CEO these days. With the market being the way it is, the good CEOs don't want to take a job at a company that might just be failing no matter what. So many companies have to fall back on people who come in much lower on their list of candidates. I think, though, that there is an element of luck involved. Some of these new CEOs will survive, and despite everything that everyone's saying about them now, in a few years, they'll be in that list of "top CEOs" and everyone will have forgotten about how the press (who haven't been CEO of anything) trashed them.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
