A few years ago a Vice President told me that she could not longer hire “the best people” … “they just won’t work in a dying industry“.
There are stupid people everywhere. Two situations seem to attract an altogether different animal … the amoral clown.
- New Industries (think crypto, AI, pickleball).
- Dying Industries (think retail, politics).
Amoral clowns like to break rules, eliminate rules, and prioritize power.
Things go in cycles … the past decade has been a celebration of the amoral clown cycle. Better times are coming.
