"I also want to clear up the fact that leaking information or anything around Patch isn't going to bother me. Doesn't bother me. I'm not changing direction."
So what you're saying is, Armstrong also gives inconsistent directions to his employees?
That's certainly one way of interpreting his statement, and I agree with you that it's an offense to the team..
but.. I don't think it exactly helps Armstrong if instead of giving inconsistent direction.. he instead gives unclear and ambiguous directions. He's the CEO.. he should be able to communicate consistently and clearly.
