    Leadership makes the decisions and gets to keep the profits, so they should be held to a higher standard of accountability. Small businesses that don’t literally have “CEOs” still have leaders. These people took responsibility, and should be treated like it.

    If you’re a ship captain, and your sailors make errors that cause the ship to sink, you’re still ultimately responsible because it’s your ship, and who hired those sailors?

      Ahh, so realistically you want one person to take blame, but not have the reward. Makes sense.

      Close a company because you have to keep everyone regardless, or get rid of people to ensure those who are left stay employed. The realistic decision made every day. When a government decision raises your costs overnight by 50% and customers don’t pay for it, tell us, who is at fault? Guess it’s the manager because they didn’t anticipate that right?
