- sliverstorm 16y agoHow many people move to take a bullet because it is the economically rational thing to do? Even body guards don't generally elect to take a bullet unless they really like the person they are protecting.
- scott_s 16y agoPotential is not a guarantee. Even if you see potential in someone, there is still a risk in investing in that potential - not all potential is realized. Even if we assume the managers' motives were purely economical, it's still rare. Consider that they took a risk - their own jobs - based on their own belief that their team could deliver.
