I thought this was going to be an interesting article. Then I read

>At first glance, this is sound—even admirable—advice for aspiring business leaders. But a closer look at Klarman’s remarks, as well as the origins and trajectory of his career, suggests a deeply flawed messenger.

And I realized this was just another article which refuses to engage ideas and falls back to ad hominem. I don’t care if the messenger is flawed, or what somebody thinks his or her motivation is for delivering a particular message. I want to hear a critique of the message itself.

The majority of the article is about shareholder primacy and the disingenuousness of the messenger and his message, as demonstrated by his actions.
