> If you publicly humiliate your family and the business
I can hardly imagine anything more stupid than judging the aptitude of the CEO of a 5T$ business based on his private love life.
I suspect so many of us see examples of corporate crime or even of corporate greed (legally) causing an incredible amount of damage that an affair feels trivial in comparison. That is especially true when the private family life of a CEO is private. The damage of the affair could be anything from devastating to the family to they were all but legally separated.
This is not about his private love life. This is about a conflict of interest that happens to also involve his private love life.
