[QUOTE="IronSnake, post: 16290392, member: 46336"] I imagine being handed the keys to the kingdom made his ego inflate tenfold. There's a bit of a paradox with certain people being put into positions of power. They start out being good team players, and managing other people getting projects done efficiently. They then get moved up the ladder a bit further for their success, and so on until they get to the day they get installed as CEO. Some sort of switch flips on that day in folks like hackett. They no longer care about relating to those below them, or even considering that those people are smarter/have a better idea than they might. It's the "Well they made me CEO, so clearly I know more/better about X than you do". Suddenly they're tangentially chasing pipe dreams and reforming the company into a shell of what is was, losing the entire spirit of the original brand in the first place. The best CEO is the guy that says "I am not the smartest guy in the room. But the smart guy in the room works for me, and I listed to him and value his opinion" [/QUOTE]
