Not sure how accurate this article is, but having no background on Neumann nor WeWork, it sounds like a cult that brainwashed a lot of hard working people. Adam sounds delusional at best and a predatory conman at worst, at least from the conclusions one can draw from the article, and Wall Streets delusion on profitability was nothing more than a loaded gun given to a toddler. I’m not sure what conclusions to draw from this - in my own experience, I’ve met managers, directors, and executives who can be very charming and flattering. These are people who I seemed to instantly like... in hindsight, they have some common traits (their ability to sell, 1:1s where the people just talk on and on and on about themselves, their achievements, or their vision without asking about my ideas, vision, concerns, motivations, etc) These are the people you have to be extremely cautious of. In my experience, they are deluding themselves and others, or they are purposely giving that pitch because they see you as a useful pawn for some agenda. I’ve learned this lesson a few times now. I don’t mean to sound cynical but that’s reality.
