To run a business well, wily jackals and cobras are required; but so are friendly giraffes, elephants and tortoises.
In the days to come, conscious managements would do well to assign the role of conscience keepers to any competent and willing full-time director on the board who would help to keep the business afloat without running into a collision with massive icebergs of targets which involve a hidden mass of compromise on core values and ethics. A culture of encouraging dissent and listening to whistle-blowers would also help in a business being steered right.
