Oh, like most high level execs he never left a horde of fans behind. Anywhere.
But Sony was a mess when he arrived and that it was a mess when he left wasn't his doing. It took Sony 50 years to build up that silo culture and Stringer barely had seven years to try to change the it.
Leaders need followers and good leaders need good followers. Some companies are too dysfunctional for even the best leaders. Which isn't to say Stringer (or Boire) was close to great. But both conpanies are seriously screwed up. Still.
