Art's being a good CW op and an innovator didn't make him a good manager 
and it was poor top management that cost him the company. With 20,000 
employees he was still trying to keep his fingers in every project as if 
it was still in his basement with 3 or 4 employees. He didn't allow the 
managers he hired to make decisions. He couldn't delegate tasks and let 
the delegatee function without mother henning him to death. That is a 
hard syndrome to break.
