Assuming these remarks are representative of employee sentiment more broadly, if you’ve been running a company for decades and yet your employees don’t feel like your beneficent ethos is obviously reflected in every single other person in leadership, that suggests to me a completely different sort of managerial failure. No one should be seen as fungible, but no one should feel like the company’s culture is propped up by a single strongman. But I guess that’s what modern corporate leadership looks like: a cult of one personality.
