You are quite right. But my posting history has led some to label me as naive... I think it's closer to the truth to say:
Truth, Trust, and Transparency are always differentiators but the reality is they are only subjectively quantifiable, and therefore a problem waiting to happen if a majority of shareholders aren't exactly aligned.
Or, simply put, large companies generally are forced into an amoral "objective and quantifiable" position. Thus it has ever been.
As a founder, I have more control over my company's culture, but I have no illusions that I can set it in stone.
