UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down last week in a killing that shocked the corporate world. Executive security firms over the past week have received a huge influx of questions, and the incident could transform how companies go about protecting top executives moving forward. As for the CEOs themselves, many aren’t resting as easy as they were just a few weeks ago. Read more in Azure Gilman's latest edition of #LearningToLead ⤵️
There has never been this type of anger and backlash been made to closing racial and ethnic gaps in U.S. Health Care or to Fix those structural Inequities. So many other industries also need to have discussions and be held accoutable for the inequities they have upheld. And to go further the scorn has never been held for those who take Black and Brown lives daily due to racism. Racism is a public health threat. #branchoftruth
It is very easy for these cowardly selfish CEO s can “ change it”, if they would only pull their heads out of their chi chi beachy sand. They can do what some but very few heads of organizations do. Michael Bloomberg famously took $ 1 a year to be mayor of NYC I seem to remember. The head of Berkshire mill in southern NH or bordering Massachusetts paid salaries wages and benefits after a fire destroyed a mill. Wake up, do something or forever be berated for your worthless MBAs and brown nosing to get to the top. It s called a social contract
There is much work to do to bring businesses back to focusing on how to operate with integrity.
I don't condone what this kid did. As a victim of the Mirena IUD brain tumor, I do understand the anger part. When companies whom we are supposed to trust blindly and almost kill us, we get angry. It is hard for me to fathom that nearly 100 million women around the world will be at risk for the Mirena IUD. In addition, all the women since 2006 have gone blind and died from this side effect, and yet our FDA backs it. We are killing our people for money. This is precisely why those of us who are victims are angry. Our system continues to cover up the truth. https://www.audible.com/pd/March-Forth-in-Love-Audiobook/B0BGQF93GL

I am genuinely perplexed. Why do we blame CEOs? I believe it is the culture that has enabled the perks and privileges CEOs receive. Instead of targeting an individual, we need to approach this issue through collaborative thinking and work together to figure out how to make meaningful changes. Placing blame on one person for broader frustrations does not address the root cause. The more I read about United Healthcare’s CEO, the more I feel bad about what happened to him. It is a reminder that systemic problems require systemic solutions, not personal attacks. I hope we focus on creating constructive dialogues and fostering a culture of accountability and fairness.
