I think for some CEOs it is actually applicable. Bezos being one of them. He has build Amazon from scratch. Sure he hired lots and lots of people to help him. But hiring the right people at the right moment is not easy and very, very important. Many startups fail at exactly that point.
- travisjungroth 7y agoSo Bezos gave other people’s money to other people, they built something, and he deserves all the credit?
- mirthflat83 7y agoYes, he deserves the majority of the credit. Why do you think CEOs exist?
- kingkawn 7y agoTo take credit for things they themselves didn’t do
- travisjungroth 7y agoI think he deserves like 17% of the credit.
- sjg007 7y agoI think Bezos is great and probably the right person but I also think Amazon was inevitable. If it wasn't Bezos it would've been someone else. Maybe not in 1994 but shortly thereafter. Amazon is not invincible either. They started amazon.cn in 1998 but they are now shutting down that division/business.
