HB and Badge - you guys really believe in the systems that referee big business. I'm surprised. Is that not naive?
We all acknowledge elite HCs are mostly hardass workaholics, but to think Fortune 500 CEOs aren't seems silly, doesn't it? And we have also acknowledged that elite HCs while not obviously cheating, are cutting corners and bending the rules to get ahead...but big companies aren't?
The elite HC is going to give the big star a 2nd chance he wouldn't give the 3rd-string LB. He's going to make promises he can't keep to the 5* kid's living room. And he has to do this to remain an elite HC. Not doing anything illegal, but doing what he needs to to be the best.
Big companies do the same thing. I don't see how this is absurd of me to say.
