Gary Vaynerchuk Bet Right On Facebook, Wrong on BlackJet

I’ve always thought highly of Gary because he seems like a smart hustler. Then I read this:

”Anytime a company goes out of business, it’s because the founder and CEO was not good enough,” Mr. Vaynerchuk says.

Which is so obviously wrong it makes me rethink my opinion.

Gary V unashamedly uses hyperbole to deliver his message with simplicity and impact.

I'm sure, in his inner thoughts, he would have a more nuanced position. Is every business failure, 100% always 100% because the founder/CEO isn't good enough? I'm sure he would agree that it isn't.

But it's true enough, often enough, that it's a solid rule of thumb to use for investment decision-making.

Of the two I think I'd trust Picard.

Is it though? There’s a saying that goes “there are no bad teams just a bad leader”. Could you provide a common seen example where this does not hold up?
