Figure 1.3, on pages 19–20 in your text, describes the actions of Aaron Feuerstein after his company, Malden Mills, was all but a heap of ashes on December 11, 1995. Some might say his initial response to employees was an emotional reaction and not prudent. Others may say he was an inspired leader with uncompromising moral fiber.

Answer the following:

From what you have learned about ethics, decision making, and analyzing stakeholders and issues, do you think Feuerstein was a noble leader or very risky decision-maker who got lucky? Be sure to research what happened to Malden Mills since 1995 and to consider the position of all stakeholders in your analysis.
Do you see any CEOs today who are prepared to do the same thing if faced with a similar crisis? If you do not see anyone in today’s business world modeling Feuerstein, state why.
