He’s the Deepak Chopra of leadership. Lots of trite aphorisms, nothing meaningful. No actual business accomplishments.
Kudos to him for making money, not going to knock him. But this is hackernews. People are hyper critical of competence, and that guy has never exhibited any success at business.
I agree he's not revolutionary but I also don't think he's some pseudo-intellectual influencer. In high school, I found a handful of his talks to be insightful and used them as material to teach general leadership principles (which, even today, I think plenty of people could stand to learn) through our student gov.
