For me, the following statement stood out - The committee asserted that any missteps Watson had made were rookie CEO errors, and that she “engaged in a conscientious…process to maximize value for the Company’s stockholders.”.

I think there is too much focus on maximizing shareholder value and too little on doing business with integrity. Shareholders should get returns because a company is well-run and solves a problem. Otherwise, we are building a system that robs common people to pay the rich.
