Laser treatment

We always knew tough times call for draconian measures but how draconian can the tough beget - seems like we had little idea. 

At a time when corporates across the globe are waking up to a new ESG reality in a living-with-Covid environment, the CEO of a leading cryptocurrency player has sought to do the reverse - induce narcolepsy within his fraternity with his 'laser focus' on a discernibly ruthless military mission. 

He wants his team champs to focus on what unites them, not what divides them; at the same time, he wants them to steer clear of broader issues as he believes impact only comes with focus, nay laser focus, whatever that means.

Does his cryptic blog post seek to inspire folks to tide over the tough times  - or is it the outcome of some mysterious 'employee exodus' that the post makes a passing mention of? Also, what this laser focus will do to the commitment to create a better world for people of every age, race, gender, sexual orientation etc (proudly proclaimed in the same post) has been kept as vague as the 'etc' in the statement.

Hopefully the head honcho would spare some time in examining the seemingly counterproductive connotation of his argument. Maybe he can proactively seek the opinion of his blog readers (we mean those who don't opt for the generous exit package announced for daring to think otherwise.)
