On occasion, even good people get fired, fall from grace, get demoted, fail to secure the top job, and lose their reputation. Bad things happen for many reasons, and highly talented people are not immune. Once out of the spotlight, the natural tendency is for others to pull back and stop talking to these leaders.

I guess it also depends on the circumstances of how they ended up there but often things go round in circles.
True human connections should be able to transcend these things. They are still the talented leader they once were.
