Financial chicanery doesn't cover up Accidenture's big ugly blemishes... years of strategy chokejobs, all-around leadership idiocy, and reactive Indian bodyshop-style layoffs (woe to those who roll off a project for any reason).
Real leaders deliver shareholder value through organic growth and cost containment, not buybacks of their toilet swirling stock. Employee incentives and enrichment? Long-term operational improvements? Real leadership and strategy? Na! Better to artificially prop up the dog$#!+ stock. Better to make a few high profile acquisitions in search of a rationale at the expense of loyal, long-term employee pay and bonuses.
Do Julie and her so called leadership really believe this toiletpaper thin PR cover-up for their horrible planning and utter absence of strategy is protecting them from accountability? Tick-tock, tick-tock...
