This is the fundamental reason large organizations struggle in the long run. If a cisco vp started a network generative ai initiative tomorrow, and in a year posted some results - do you think those results would ever be received badly? Or would they be massaged until they were good?

Externally - absolutely they could be received poorly. It’s a very common outcome for clueless executives forcing themselves into areas where they have no domain knowledge.
Internally, most execs will use their sociopathic tendencies to spin it into some kind of an ego boosting success story. Otherwise companies would drop so many current day tech executives.
A big factor in keeping it tight with investors is posturing. It’s definitely more important than performance or business results. I don’t think most tech executives sweat about their actual performance outside of small companies.
