Isnt hubris the character of money and finance - the more one’s hands get involved, the
‘more messier it all Becomes. The only way to check it for one's own good is through
conscience, and personal limits and deep understanding of the limits of power, wealth and

He sure was a great manager. His management was taught at many business schools in
the US and EU. But maybe he did not know how to harness his hubris or when to leave
the table,
However his bosses also do not appreciate his work when he reached this stage.
When things reach this stage, itis almost always impossible to know the truth. Who did
what wrongly.

Carlos Ghosn "merely a hired hand"? A strange label to attach to a man who has tumed
around two of the worst car-makers of the developed world. He will retire comfortably no

Thr article implicitly assumes Ghosn is guilty. What is teritying in today’s world is how you
are found guilty before being judged. The carefully orchestrated arrest, the well organized
press conference right after, the difference in treatment with other high profile scandals in
Japan (Olympus, etc) where no one went to jail, the leaks to the Japanese press - it really
looks like @ coup to get Nissan back under local control - At least this is highly plausible.

Ghosn fall seems a too-convenient end for some (Nissan and the Japanese state),
compared to others (Renault and the French state). Couldn't the Japanese side be trying
to renegotiate the deal behind the alliance?
That is, weren't there tensions within the Renault-Nissan alliance? Wasn't Nissan
contributing out-sized profits compared to Renault, which instead has the upper hand
because of a deal sealed 20 years ago? And wasn't Ghosn the only glue left to keep them
together?

Its not just high flyers, hubris exists even if we gain a minute amount of power...we often
forget that the chairs that we sit in, were there Jong before we came to this world, and it
«will still be there for someone else long after we are gone,
