It happened with Starbucks (SBUX) it happened with Boeing (BA), it happened with Nike (NKE), and now it’s happening with OpenAI. Executive management turnover seems to be the recent corporate trend, and it’s causing concern for leaders, analysts, and investors alike

In this week’s episode of Opening Bid, Market Domination anchor Julie Hyman sits down with Gautam Mukunda, Lecturer of Management Practice at the Yale School of Management and author of “Picking Presidents” to discuss executive management changes and corporate leadership within corporations, focusing in on OpenAI and rising concerns for the tech giant.

Hyman also touches upon Mukunda’s recent article for Forbes in which he breaks down a recent psychological study where researchers who focus on psychopathy and management determined CEOs have elevated levels of psychopathic traits. Mukukda elaborates on this, explaining the concept of ‘fearless dominance,’ and how CEOs are fearless, take risks, and never rattle under pressure.
