Two Tales of CEOs
from the check-the-extremes dept
I found it fairly amusing that I came across the following two articles one after the other. The first one is about interim CEO's and even companies who will supply startups with "gray hairs" who will stop by a few times a week to check on the kiddies. This is promoted as a "good thing" for startups. The second article is about the succession problem Silicon Valley firms are facing, and how bad most CEOs seem to be at coming into companies and keeping them strong. Obviously, these two articles focus on different types of companies, but I still find the contrast to be amusing.
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.
