☆ The Father-Son Struggle That Helped Ensure IBM’s Success

His father, Watson Sr., the head of IBM, was a domineering man who subjected his son to a classic combination of emotional distance and cruelty. Watson Jr. responded by becoming a rebel and wastrel. Watson Sr., “the old man,” was a type familiar to our times: the tech titan who runs a large company as an extension of himself. The company “was run entirely out of one man’s breast pocket,” McElvenny and Wortman write. Watson Sr. “made all strategic decisions and most minor ones” and “delegated almost no authority.”

The commission recommended increasing transparency and accountability for RCMP oversight, improving critical incident response capabilities, and focusing more on everyday policing practices. It is influenced by the United States discourse centred on a right to bear arms which does not exist in our constitutional and legal structure," the commission said. Canada has stricter gun laws than the United States, but Canadians can own firearms with a license. The commission recommended that federal and regional governments should adopt "legislation affirming that gun ownership is a conditional privilege."
