Executives arent leading a company because they're smart...

[–] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 11 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I work in corporate. I tell my people not to sink too much faith in executive leadership because more often than not, they got those jobs because of who they know, not what they know. Always question leadership and don't believe that they are there because they are the smartest people. There are far more of these people with barely two brain cells tonrub together than those who earned their place.
