You can be the best tenis player in the world and still miss the ball.
- latexr 3y agoThat analogy doesn’t really work for interpersonal relationships. If everyone likes you, you’re not going to get fired from the CEO position for missing one ball. And if you miss a bunch of them, you’re probably no longer the best in the world. That said (and I haven’t read the article yet), the quote the original commenter picked doesn’t say he got the job back due to interpersonal skills. “Influence and reputation” could just as well mean he’s known for being ruthless and vindictive with friends in high places.
