My POV - no, and I would not recommend trying this. Some questions to consider: Your security: How would you ensure your (and your family's) security if you are really, really, on a allotment of land, let's say free from any form of government (no taxes)? You would take care of your own security with your own guns and such? Well, now you have to spend money to buy those - where do you get it? And maybe you are able to protect yourself from some individuals, but what of organized gangs - if your land is not governed, then there are no law - good luck!
Your security again, but this time from the point of view of insurance? Your home is on fire, how do you deal with this? Are there any firefighters available? How do you pay for this service? Your house is completely burnt, were you insured?
In the end maybe it can work if you plan on living in a cave with almost nothing (nothing to lose!) - but watch out for other people that may be interested by in having your cave! Strongest person (or organized group) wins...
It may be counter intuitive, but from my point of view, when you start managing individual contributors, YOU start working for them. Even though you are able to delegate work, a good part of your job is to clarify what needs to be done, how, etc... Especially that you are moving from solo to team based, you are also managing and clarifying requirements (stories or whatever) for your team. It's something you were possibly doing in your head previously, now you need to formalize it, because... communications! You help them do what they are good at, remove roadblocks, organize work between team members, plan work ahead of time, etc...
I am not excusing him groping people. But I see someone coming to terms and acknowledging the mistakes and harm he did.
Sharing his experience and talking about the mistakes he made and how bad it was is just a net positive for all - I mean he is still a role model and can influence young people - so I see no value in cancelling him. I would agree with you if he was still groping or promoting such behaviour, which doesn't seem to be the case.
I know all this doesn’t fix anything for the victims, and it is terrible for them.
Are you professing that we should pass on everone that doesn't have a perfect record?
I mean, is there someone with a perfect record?
I think you learn and grow to be good, to take care of others, and this process goes with mistakes that impact yourself and others... You cannot expect someone to be always 100% perfect all the time.
As for myself, I did tons of shit that I am not proud of, so you should pass on this comment as well...
