Would you say the same about Travis Kalanick or Adam Neumann?


I would say that Kalanick and Neumann's mistakes were quite a bit worse than overhiring.


Sure, what I meant is that founder CEOs are not as irreplaceable as it might seem.


To be fair, Travis was not the founding CEO of Uber. That was Ryan Graves.


And Elizabeth Holmes


Not the best example since she wasn't replaced.
