It's easy to say in hindsight that a board member was good, after the company has succeeded. Harder to tell in advance.




It’s a tautology essentially. It would be weird for lousy leaders to have amazing success. So obviously great companies have great leaders because they wouldn’t have a chance of being great otherwise.
