>directing internal heat ( and external heat - like yours ) to himself, rather than HR, or middle managers etc in Google. The reason this is irrelevant is because it's not what Western society values. If he is sincere about taking responsibility, he would either resign with no compensation, or take a severe paycut for failure. If a CEO is handed a bonus when the company does well, then it must follow that their head rolls when it doesn't. "Taking heat" should be part of the day-to-day of a CEO's job and not the "punishment" for failure.
