Or the pesky fact that McKinsey has a long history of given terrible advice to companies that, if and when implemented, caused them much pain. So there’s little evidence McKinsey folks would actually be good at building and running businesses in most sectors.

The former Starbucks CEO is a classic example. His infamous interview with Cramer on CNBC is the textbook of what it looks like when some McKinsey consultant gets actually put in charge. It was a total shitshow.

Likely succeeded at pontificating to CEOs via PPT, but actually being CEO? Not so much.
