When he is at it, why not replace the CEO? What does the CEO do anyway, take dumb decisions and collect large paychecks. Firing the CEO and replacing him with AI would be the smartest decision in the history of mankind.
Corporate America right now..
All we need is C Level execs and AI.
Everybody else needs to be fired.
Dorsey is right, most often you don't "need" middle level managers. But I think they are very useful to keep a pulse on what's actually going on on the ground, and keep things running.
Most execs are clueless about everyday issues (which is a good thing). But that doesn't mean those issues don't exist. And someone has to firefight them.
The irony is at least in my company it's the C suite people that could easily be replaced
By AI. The further you are away from the sale or the ground the more useless you are for the success of the company. The middle level manages have the relationships with the people and producers which cannot replaced by AI. Remove or replace any of the execs and nothing happens to the business. Remove the people actually running things and you would lose business to a competitor hand over fist overnight. It's really a shortsighted statement.
