It's pretty straight forward to me. "$CORPO_STOOGE does all the things that make you a great leader and talks in platitudes that seem genuine! That makes them a decent person!"

Nah. I have a quote that I think about often on this topic, from none other than Bojack Horseman[1]:

Bojack, "Well, do you think I'm a good person... deep down?"

Diane, "That's the thing, I don't think I believe in deep down. I kind of think that all you are is the things that you do"

$CORPO_STOOGE is just a sociopath who follow the suggestions of "Lean In" as a behavioral guide of motions to follow. That doesn't make them a good person, just maybe a more pleasant manipulator.

The most psychotic person ive ever known started his leadership by saving someones job after they made a mistake. Everyone assumed he would be a great leader, my skepticism proved right.
