I'm sure Mr Chen is no fool but he has done real damage with his mis quotes and or early announcements about leaving handsets etc leaving his underlings to try and control the damage.

Good words actually:

“The hardest thing to do is recognize that your current model needs changing,” said Chen, who says this is something BlackBerry struggled with for some time as it focused mainly on its successes and not enough on what could go wrong. “I think disruptors of today’s businesses need to look at it from that point of view that things are going well, what could go wrong. There’s not enough board rooms or senior management team conversations about what could go wrong.”

Wow, an honest statement that many people may not want to hear but needs to be said.

Truer words could not be spoken, especially as he is referring to his own transgressions.

Yeah they don't often admit their failings, so its interesting to see that. I bet the previous CEOs think the world has treated them unfairly or something.

That's pretty much a summary of the "Toyota Way", practiced for years.
