One lesson that I learned from Micheal Jordan: the best in any field relish the worst conditions. The harder the practice the better. Rockefeller was the same. The more the panic around him, the better he was. The best outperform even more when things are tough.

Given all the inept politicians, senior bureaucrats, boards and CEOs out there, what they get away with, it’s massively disproportionate that Christine Holgate fell on her sword over a few watches. That she forgoed a payout says a lot. Her career isn’t done by a long stretch.
