Why is john mackey a bad CEO?
<|assistant|>
John Mackey is considered a bad CEO because of his controversial leadership methods. Specifically, he has been criticized for his autocratic decision making style, refusal to allow outside investments and focus on shareholder profit to the exclusion of all else. Furthermore, some feel he is insensitive to employees’ needs, as evidenced by cuts in benefits during tough financial times. Additionally, his management of the Whole Foods Market chain was sometimes ham-handed, particularly in its expansion, leading to criticism that the company had lost its unique, sustainable mission.
