> Perhaps you bring in a CEO who has a 90% chance of tripling the company’s revenue/growth and a 10% chance of leading the company to failure.

I realize these are hypothetical numbers, but they're so clearly backwards. It's more like a 10% chance for tripling the growth with a 90% chance of failure, and even that is being optimistic.

That depends on the changes proposed. Many places I have worked at could apply simple bits of internal automation and training that easily allows for trimming, or repurposing, half or more headcount. Keep in mind software is a cost center, so changes to tech teams will never result in greater revenue but they can greatly reduce expenses.

Well now they're hypothetical _and_ polarizing!
