why was ralph lauren a bad ceo?
<|assistant|>
Ralph Lauren was a poor CEO because he focused on short-term gains rather than long-term growth, was unable to innovate and remained too attached to his existing business model. He also failed to recognize shifts in the market and respond in time, leading to loss of revenue. Additionally, his leadership style was autocratic rather than participative, which created resentment among the workforce. As a result, the company lost vital talent, and underperformed compared to its competitors.
