>If the bar for asking a CEO to quit is "you did not correctly predict the future" then we're going to have to ask most CEOs to quit at some point. And most employees for that matter.

Fine. But that’s not the CEO “taking responsibility”, it’s the employees who fall on the sword who take responsibility.

If I build your house out of wood and it burns down, and I say I will “take responsibility” while doing nothing while you have to buy a new house, I’m not really taking responsibility am I?
