    I honestly don’t understand why “shareholder value” has not already demanded something like this, given how formulaic most “leadership” actually is.

    I think I know the reason, and the entire narrative is mostly bullshit, and instead the wealth that companies generate is set up to be extracted by a very, very few and they sit on each others’ boards and set up their own compensation, etc…
