Fast Company Article and How True It Was about Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling

In issue #44 of Fast Company magazine (March 2001, Page 124 by Tom Peters) was an article about leadership.

 

This section was called:

 

"Rule #3: Leadership Is Confusing As Hell"

 

In this article he wrote:

 

"Enron chiefs Kenneth Lay and Jeff Skilling have figured out how to operate like a band of pirates. Got an idea? Don't dally. Go for it while it's an original! Doesn't work? Try something else. If that doesn't work, fuhgeddaboutit!"

 

With the conviction of these two today I suspect these modern day pirates last set of goals is to figure out who gets to walk the plank first.
