By that logic it almost sounds as if Meg Whitman was highly qualified to run HP…

  She was qualified. Are you saying that her previous experience shouldn't have counted as a positive attribute for being hired?

    It's a false signal

    It's true that eBay did well during her tenure. And it's also true that she was a better grownup than the people running it before. But she also said that a monkey could drive the train. Would someone else have done better? Could a monkey have delivered the same results? We'll never know, but the experience at HP doesn't validate her as a business genius.

    The Sun rose consistently during her tenure at eBay but we certainly don’t give credit for that. eBay would have succeeded even if a Labrador retriever was CEO - due to everyone else’s efforts.

      Were so many people saying that when Meg Whitman left eBay? Are people saying that about Mira Murati? -I haven't heard anything to suggest she gets no credit for ChatGPT (the product/technical execution, not the model)
