DB,
I'm not arguing that the majority of CEOs and other top execs of the Fortune 1000 don't possess special abilities. But I've worked for a couple and have completed assignments for several more when I was on my own, and there is no shortage of others at lower levels who could do at least as well at running the business for far less compensation.
There are many senior execs whose ignorance and management incompetence might astound you. One of the CEOs I worked with was one. He was fired from two successive CEO positions for cause and then retired with 10s of millions from both companies to give him solace. Nice guy by the way.
People in the business world frequently do rise to their level of incompetence as the classic Peter Principle states.
I agree that the state of American families is at the root of many of our ills. And, like recovery from alcoholism, the road to a better place is fundamentally a spiritual one.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply.
Puff
