I am reading the book “A Hacker’s Mind”, and the author quotes a former president on the subject of fear and risk: “when people are insecure, they’d rather have somebody who is strong and wrong than someone who’s weak and right.” — Bill Clinton Public companies want to appear strong to analysts and the asset owners who hold shares. Right and wrong are moral considerations. Given all the macro and micro rolling polycrises in the workplace (i.e. increased cost of capital, recessionary environment, skill/labor deficit, hiring freezes, cultural transformation, distributed work, technology disruption, etc), the Clinton quote tracks.
