Huang and the Myth of the ‘Irreplaceable CEO’

Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang stepped down after revelations of an extramarital relationship with a company vice president, which violated the company's code of conduct. The company's board had rarely considered a future without Huang, who had structured the company around himself with no chairman, no No. 2, and no public succession plan. Huang's successor will have to figure out how to run a company built around someone who is no longer there, a challenge that is a "real failure of leadership" by Huang. Beth Kowitt, Bloomberg Opinion Columnist, joins to discuss her recent column on the "key-man" CEO issue. (Source: Bloomberg)
