It's fascinating to me the extent to which executives don't consider themselves "public figures" when it comes to potential downsides, but they do in terms of upsides.

It feels so obvious to me that the CEO of such a high-profile org should at the very least quickly check public-facing social media posts against someone sensible, if not laundering them all through the experts at their org. But somehow they keep making these mistakes over and over again.

Really? Because they are all about upsides.

"My initiatives led to 1,500,000 new bank accounts opened in the last 3 quarters!"

Vs.

"I didn't have any knowledge that the 1,450,000 new bank accounts were opened fraudulently!"
