A propos the cult of personality that attends all large organisations, the chief executive officer[1] gets referred to at all times by only his Christian name — so “Lloyd”, “Bob”, “Chuck”, or “Jamie” — and is immune from the cynicism (which, in any other dimension, will be total) on the part of those who hanker after advancement in the firm. The CEO is afforded a kind of hero of the Soviet Union status and his pronouncements, however banal, hackneyed, or foolish, will be quietly celebrated across the breadth of the organisation.
