"It’s a view that carries weight because of Inamori’s success." This bloomberg sentence fits well to my understanding of many businesses: their leaders don't use their brains, they follow the crowd. The author does a puzzling thing: he asks us to follow the good example but then wants to point out the special approach of Inamori. What is the advice? Follow Inamori and do what too many businesses do (follow, don't think)? Or do something original (and don't care about what everybody does)? And what about statistics? Here is a report about one single success that worked and its leader tried to make his employees happy (perhaps both things are unrelated, tbp). That does not carry any weight, until there is a meaningful statistics about the success of leaders who did it like this. Currently, it is just another success story. Even the hen-egg example is broken and the author did not see it. Take it literally: do we care for hens? No, we torture them until they die early, take all their eggs and make a good profit. The hen is dead? Get another one, she'll lay eggs too. The farmers who care for their hens are the ones in trouble: they have to compete with much cheaper eggs. And who really understands or pays for quality? A minority!
