This anecdote further exacerbates the problem with the original article. The lessons learned should not be: "CEOs need to do this, this, and that" and neither should it be "For employees, how you handle change will affect the trajectory of your career and possibly your net worth" CEOs don't _need_ to do anything. They don't owe you anything. They can run the company into the ground for all we care, what matters is whether you have the power or not. What it should be is this: "If you do not have power, you need to plan for the case when you will get screwed". He who fails to plan, plans to fail. Power is the degree to which a person has control over their own circumstances. Power is the degree to which we control the directions of our lives.
