"critical need to humanise leadership"
What about humanising your customer base? Humanising employees?
Yeah, I mean the quotes I pulled were the most self-aware wolves nonsense in the article, but the rest were basically either "we need more security" or "oh no the poors are onto us".
I've never met a CEO or member of the ultra-wealthy that wasn't either a sociopath, narcissist, or completely detached from reality. I've only met about a dozen of those kinds of folks but they all had that same vibe.
Are you surprised?
Not at all surprised. Just gobsmacked by how far they have their heads up their arses.
Edit: The only benevolent CEOs I've met have retired early and given their wealth away so that they have just enough to live out the rest of their lives in peace.
The rest are greedy narcissists and are extremely selfish, believe that being poor is a choice and love the thrill of taking advantage of people.
To get ultra wealthy, you have to go over corpses and be radical and very detached from reality AND your own humanity and humility. Because if you're not, you'll stop yourself and give back eventually.
It's more nuanced than that. At least from the small section of that population I've interacted with it seems like there is very little malice in their actions. They don't care and/or don't understand the impact of their choices.
I had the misfortune of having to sit through a couple meetings with the First Buddy (when a company he owned contracted one I worked for) and he is the only exception I've encountered. He struck me as actively hostile as if he viewed everyone around him who wasn't agreeing with him as threats to be immediately and definitively dealt with.
I'd suggest that the dragons of the world come in many colors and alignments.
