I don't believe any CEO could have done better against the witch hunt Eich faced. I mean, OKCupid was protesting him personally. I've never seen anything like it before, and I'm not sure what, say, Tim Cook would have done if the tables were turned and people had been attacking him for being a homosexual and it was materially affecting the bottom line. I think it would have worked out much the same.

"I don't believe any CEO could have done better against the witch hunt Eich faced." Perhaps not. Lacking the skills and experience that make a large-organization-CEO, I don't think my inability to think up a strategy means much. I'm also not paid like a CEO. I expect the same applies to you, although I don't know that. Obviously, our collective inability means slightly more.

  Well, I'm thinking more about what I have seen CEOs of large corporations do before. I'm sure I couldn't do it. But many CEOs have been brought down without half the pressure (see, for example, the history of Yahoo), so it's hard to imagine anyone could withstand that kind of storm.
