Last startup where I was working, I knew that the company was toast when the CEO was bragging in a company-wide call about how he designed the background mural for the new office entrance.

Steve Jobs was very involved in the design of Apple Park before he died. Hopefully you didn’t short AAPL because of that.

I'm pretty sure OP has more context, and that was "the last drop". Anyway, it is a big red flag without any context. But yes, it also could be ok, if that is a very particular important detail.

Steve Jobs knew that details matter (not just high level objectives). They key is to pick the details that actually matter and avoid focusing on those that do not.

Except not everyone is Steve Jobs with billions to do what he wants first.

Nice to imagine maybe.

Steve Jobs didnt schedule an all hands meeting to tell everyone about it.
