  1. Rosenthal: Andrew Mason's firing may not be a bad deal for Groupon

    "Our main focus is trying to figure out how this model evolves and not consistently falling on our face in the public," Groupon Executive Chairman Eric Lefkofsky reportedly told a Northbrook Chamber of Commerce audience early last April after yet another stumble under his fellow co-founder, Chief Executive Andrew Mason. "It's like giving a 7-year-old a Ferrari; you're going to get a certain amount of chaos."

In a world of publicists and generic corporate statements, Mason&rsquo;s letter stands out as surprisingly straightforward, honest and funny. He even stole one of my greatest ideas. Since I entered the business world I&rsquo;ve always wanted to resign in two different ways. One, by citing &ldquo;creative differences,&rdquo; and two, by declaring that I would spend no additional time with my family. Here&rsquo;s Mason&rsquo;s full letter (<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/on-leadership/fired-groupon-ceos-refreshingly-blunt-memo-to-employees/2013/02/28/a5c9f584-820a-11e2-b99e-6baf4ebe42df_story.html" target="_blank">via the Washington Post</a>):
