To be the top boss is a cherished ambition. On attaining it, one invariably presses the "undo' switch to assert his identity.
This comes with an unconscious desire of past insults, past dreams, old value system and disregard to generation gap - now it changes every seven years.
Also, there is a bad trend established; two quarters of low profits - and the CEO is on way out. There is a callous disregard to external economic environment.
