Andy Grove: Stop Stigmatizing CEOs, Start Fixing Real Problems
from the straight-talking dept
I have to admit, I've always been impressed with everything I've heard Andy Grove speak, or seen him write an opinion. Once again, it seems he's dead on with his reaction to the current "corporate crisis" that we're going through these days. He says people are overreacting in simply blaming all CEOs for being bad. And then, unlike some complainers these days, he goes on to lay out his (very reasonable) suggestions for what companies need to do to get rid of corrupt CEOs and accounting scandals. Basically, his suggestions are about accountability and cutting out the back-scratching, behind-the-scenes-dealing nature of business.
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 junta
Yes, not all corporate leaders are criminal, I have worked for some that occupied the moral high ground. But we are now in a witch hunt and looking for someone to burn.
