If I were a board member I wouldn’t really want an environment where CEOs were deathly afraid of making bets that made sense at the time. It just leads to stagnation.

What consequence do you think the CEO should face?

That is a fair point. However, my point is not that the CEO should face consequences, but voluntarily take responsibility in some meaningful way. "That's on me" in a corporate email != taking actual responsibility. The empty platitudes are the problem. The accommodations for employees who are being let go are above and beyond, which is the silver lining.

> but voluntarily take responsibility in some meaningful way

Nobody seems to be able to explain what they think this looks like. "You'll know it when you see it"?
