Yes. TN and MM, and now TW who is every bit as described here, including famous for what she pulled last year, were somehow protected by the board.. All they cared about was the profits pulled in. No contract strategy. INstead of relationships they used people and then could not figure out why they got shut out. Fact is we got what we could from people. End of story.
No one was minding the culture, nor did they care. Proven fact, anyone who intrduced a strategy or tried to is gone. Brains are dangerous here. I think in some ways this was harder than leading soldiers. They don't scurry behind your back and develop their groups in ways that only such geniuses could, and stay alive.
