I think your interpretation is more the exception than the rule.

On the contrary; the good CEOs are just much quieter. The bad ones are in the news every other week with a new story about how shitty they are. We rarely praise kindness and successes, focusing instead on the latest screw up; so it seems like the screw ups are more prevalent because that’s all you ever hear about.

It’s hard to see the light, when you’re constantly pushed towards the dark.
