While most companies resist break-ups, the corporate history is that most companies actually perform better after they’ve been split up
That’s a stat he made up in his head btw. Completely baseless claim.

Actually, he is correct. The Ma Bell breakup in the 80s is a good example of this. The newer, smaller companies grew much faster than the original.

It actually makes sense. I’ve seen big and small companies. Small companies are focused, flexible and people usually have a connection with the company.
At bigger companies, everything goes slow. And nobody gives a shot about anything. They do what they need to do in order to get paid, but not a step more. Everything is slow because at least 2 layers of management need to sign off on decisions.
