Not sure I get the reference specifically. Let's take the private sector and use Jamie Dimon from JP Morgan as an example. A lot of people have thought that that he would make an excellent President and have pushed for him to run previously. A strong business and economic mind but a compassionate and forward thinking social values individual. He would be the classic middle of the road candidate.
Running the worlds largest and important financial institution, being able to execute deals and assist in times of crisis (2008,2020 etc) and having the ability to navigate the level of complexity that he deals with on a daily basis is also impressive.
Getting rid of Jamie Dimon from JP Morgan over an offensive tweet, comment or minor transgression is one thing. Getting rid of him because he physically and mentally is struggling in his role as chairman and CEO and can't do the job is another. The success and failure of the global financial system depends on him being 100% on.
He had a massive health scare in 2020 and required cardiac surgery. The level of intense focus on his health to ensure a complete recovery was paramount to the company and in a lot of ways, to the world. There was concern and speculation on what may happen if he doesn't recover and can't do the job. Thankfully JP Morgan has a strong succession plan in place and is prepared for his departure.
Canceling him for something small is weird. Cancelation as a result of health and medical concerns is 100% valid given the stakes.
