I feel at a certain level of leadership in large companies, you just make it into the club and no matter what you do, some other large company will pick you up due to the same mindset of "no one ever got fired for buying IBM".
The last SVP of my working org dropped the ball so hard our client walked away from hundreds of millions of dollars in hardware and infrastructure just to be done with it. He got canned then picked up by a similar company inside two months with the same title.

- achillesheels 6y agoI feel this is the MBA “journey”: Endless corporate striving to get seats as a way of blotting out the vanity of existence. I’ll try for an honest existence, thanks much.
- hogFeast 6y agoCorrect. There was a post the other day about VC "pattern matching" causing discrimination...this is the same thing. Most executives are chosen because they look like executives, and have a good CV. If you have failed but have an MBA from Harvard, people will give you a pass. I don't know how you solve this either btw. Part of the problem is people failing but the obvious connected factor is companies hiring poorly. Hiring is where many companies go wrong imo.
