HP's Dunn is Done

As expected, Dunn resigned from HP for her role in the spy scandal. The original leak of their strategic plan was bad enough. This is far worse. Throughout this entire story, all I could say was "What were these people thinking?" and "Did they think their tactics would not get out and destroy public trust in their company?"

Harvard Business Review will study this case in years to come. I'll save them the trouble: people with overblown egos and fat paychecks to match thought the rules don't apply to them. Their hubris cost the company far more than the original leak. End of story.
