Power and the AOL public firing

By sheer coincidence, two articles came to my attention within a short period of time that seemed to go well together well.

The first: “Power robs the brain of empathy”.

The second: “Listen To AOL CEO Tim Armstrong Fire A Patch Employee In Front Of 1,000 Coworkers”.

I’m not making a judgment on whether the guy deserved to be fired or whatever, just intrigued by the way he was fired.
