An Analyst's Ad Hominem Hell

I clearly hit a nerve last week when I compared Meg Whitman's moves at HP to Tim Cook's at Apple. I do sincerely think Tim Cook was set up to fail. Steve Jobs didn't hire Cook to replace him -- he hired him to do the jobs he didn't want to do. This is why a lot of great companies slide. The existing CEOs seee replacement candidates as rivals, so they make sure they don't have the skills or otherwise can't do the CEO's job.
