There are stupid people in high places. It became obvious to me years ago that corporations chose management personnel based solely upon football talk or days at the golf course.
Yes.
Oh yeah, the good ol’ boy network is alive and well. And almost (but not quite) as bad as DEI for putting unqualified people into high-ranking positions.
I think that's absolutely true.
Why do you think there are "consultancy firms," like Booze-Allen, Accenture, McKinsey, etc.?
It's because most CEOs don't know what they're doing, don't know where they're going, have no vision for the future, don't understand the industry their company is operating in, and so on.
So many of them are just hoping their boards of directors, their shareholders, the family that owns them, doesn't figure out how clueless they are.
Those consultant firms exist to give the CEOs something plausible to say the next time they have to talk to the company owners.
Also nice hair, and glib meeting presentations that make senior managers feel warm and fuzzy.
Isn’t that the truth?
These AI champions are egocentric people who hire more like them.
