I wish this tired "asking hard questions" trope would stop. I think this maybe started with Zuckerberg. It's nothing more than a rhetorical device. It allows CEOs to acknowledge a PR problem without having to provide any meaningful or prescriptive guidance to the culture that created that PR problem in the first place. You will never read a blog post by a CEO titled "The Answers To Those Hard Questions."
>"Cheng said in an email, according to people who’ve seen the memo and verified its authenticity. “The problem is within ourselves. Our desire for success caused us to forget our mission."
Ugh. When success and your mission can have such orthogonality, it could be argued that your "mission statement" was disingenuous to begin with.
