We all make mistakes. Even the most admired and successful leaders have made disastrous leadership mistakes. It's actually one of the best ways to learn, grow and become more effective. At the same time, not everyone is cut out to be in such a dominant position.

After WeWork failed to take the startup public, questions were raised about his behavior. Additional spiraling losses and corporate governance occurred. Say what you will about Neumann, but he made the right decision and stepped down.
