Short termisms that spreads through the traditional businesses are now causing them to die off.

Whether it's rank and yank, diversification into the hottest financial markets, throwing away manufacturing because those weren't making a lot of money, killing of R&D because they are a cost center. You'll see so many "capable" CEOs who could handle the day to day gracefully but manage like this, and lead the companies to their doom.

It's not about appearances.
