This message is so clearly directed at the internal audience of Moz to try and frame his failures to rise as the CEO from a founder and garner internal support. If I&#x27;m Sahah, I&#x27;m clearly annoyed at this and see it as part of the reason he lost the job in the first place. All the drama he presents you don&#x27;t see coming from any other CEO or corner office in tech. The real &#x27;honesty&#x27; is clearly read between the lines that he doesn&#x27;t want Sarah to be the CEO and wishes he were still in the position despite his former and current failings. Companies reach a tipping point at which time they need an operator instead of a perpetrator of drama following bad results.
