I will never understand how is it that such idiots repeatedly make it to the top.
MBAs and such are trained in being confident without knowing anything besides different business grifts.
it's all about the networking at that level. Doesn't matter how much of a blithering idiot you are so long as you know a guy who knows a guy to get you in.
csuites and ceos, are all the result of nepotism, there isnt such a thing as working your way up ofr those positions.
It’s partly the fact that hundreds of millions of people the world over, possibly several billion people, believe that they only got there because they were competent and do nothing to stop them.
