The one really negative bit:
"And so we recruit people from some really great companies — McKinsey, USAA, Tesla and Amazon — and train them to run these small businesses."
- gunapologist99 3y agoThat might not be a bad thing.. but it could be.
- screwturner68 3y agoIt just assumes that only people that work for companies like Amazon and Tesla have the pedigree to manage a company. I look at it like how every politician either elected or appointed seems to have gone to one of 10 well known universities -you know Harvard, Yale, Stanford..etc. It's not about what they know or what they want to do as much as the fact that they are all in the same club. I've always said that being a CEO is just a game of playing follow the leader -one CEO cuts their 401K, they all cut their 401K, one CEO switches to "unlimited vacation" they all switch to "unlimited vacation". It's not a surprise that these companies all act the same, all the leaders all went to the same schools with professions that went to the same schools. They've all bee taught to think alike, they aren't disruptive-it's just group think. When was the last time you heard of a CEO that went to community college and some shitty state school -even if they founded the company they are quickly replaced by a person more suited to be the CEO- someone for a Ivy school/FAANG once they IPO.
