I like to give the cleaning lady viewpoint who wishes she could be
articulate and bright enough to have been educated well enough to be a gasp
lol CEO, President, or even upper management or to have done gone to them
real top difficult schools, programs, passed all them board exams, etc.
I see in my country the US CEO's who make considerable money, who can't even
tell you at a 6th grade level what's going on in their country, how the gov
works, how the court system works, how consumately stupid their
Congressional oversight has been, how piss poor foreign policy has been
conducted by someone who topped out in her capacity as an amature piano
player and belonged as Dean at Stanford about as a stray cat.
Their literarcy quotient is a fraction of the therometer on any given day.
I also know a bunch of CEO's who can't run Windows as well as some 14 year
olds on various groups and chats let alone the other OS platforms these kids
run and who have less of a vocabulary either IT or in general.
You picked an intersting group to worship in a country where education wise
these people have been the kids who grew up who were left behind for years
and years.
I am amused as to what criterion you have used to assess whether people here
are CEOs, presidents, board members, upper management, movers and shakers in
their fields, etc. yada yada.
Are you consulting with Ashleigh he lap dancing palm reader off Route 38 in
her trailor with the tryptych in the front yard of Pink Flamingos, Old
Tires, and an old car up on blocks?
After a long day that started early this is a big grin:
"Xfile, I think its safe to say that most of the people on this board are
not
CEO's, presidents, or even upper management. Wouldn't you agree?"
Next time you get a bunch of CEOs from the US in the room, ask them how many
consider themselves advanced computer users, can tell you articulately how
Congress works, how many votes it takes to grant cert at the S. Ct. and what
huge threat was launched yesterday with the decision to pull the sources of
the World's leading newspaper by having the government seize their phone
records.
I would also be interested in your articulating your perception of CEOness,
or is it CEOnicity, upper managementnicity, and the qualities it takes to be
president. How about the tin ear quality I witnessed recently where a CEO
of a major company Home Depot who lost in the horse race to run GE, held an
annual board meeting where no questioins were taken for stock holders,
commands an unprecedented package, and has his company in a sharp downward
spiral that resembles a kami kazi route moving fast. Is that CEOness?
