I feel like if you are making it to the higher echelons of success, you typically have this type of track record.

A lot of companies start small by people who like what they do. It’s the business leader or visionary who sees the future and how to apply it on the larger scale usually leaving the loyalty and honor behind and doing what’s best for them and their company.

See the movie Blackberry[0] for a dramatic telling of this.

Just keep in mind that the movie is supposedly quite unfactual and the characters are portrayed very differently than they were in real life. In fact the co-ceo: Mike Lazaridis seems to want nothing to do with the film.
