Elizabeth Holmes’ Downfall Has Been Explained Deeply–By Men
- rossdavidh 8y agoMy first take on the article was that it would be overwrought feminist apologizing for fraud. It seems considerably more interesting, and plausible, than that. But, of course, I have no way of knowing how true.
- greenyoda 8y agoI think the article could be a warning to anyone who starts a company, regardless of their gender: "Fear of doubt meant Holmes fired all doubters, thus guaranteeing the failure of Theranos." If a CEO is so insecure that they can't tolerate employees' doubts about the direction of the company, they probably shouldn't be leading a company. And if investors tolerate a CEO firing anyone who doesn't blindly follow the agenda, the investors aren't exercising enough due diligence.
