Dare ObasanjoBoeing is an example of the observation that by the time you realize you've made a strategic mistake, it's too late.
Bodhipaksa@carnage4life Christ! There is no height to which a complete idiot cannot rise, provided he's white and has been to Yale or Harvard. Both in this case.
❓ucblockhead@carnage4life the collorary to that is that the market is too short term to reward good strategy
Markus F. Frisch@ucblockhead @carnage4life If it were only for the market - shouldn’t companies that mess up like this just vanish?
Bridget (née Bill) Phillips@carnage4life Another thing that jumps out from that para: refusing to cross ethical lines as "being an asshole"
I have personally crossed ethical lines I later regretted out of a desire to be friendly and not cause problems.
Ronathon Livingston Seagull@carnage4life that guy is an acute and mortal danger to everyone around him.
zach@carnage4life this wasn’t a “strategic mistake” so much as focusing on profit over customers or product.
That’s far worse (and basic mis)management than missing a disruptive trend or focusing on the wrong segment, e.g. having the wrong strategy.
Alfonso UrdanetaHi, where is this excerpt from?

@carnage4life clearly this asshole overvalued “leadership” and undervalued experience..
Jonathan Kamens 86 47@carnage4life As is so often the case, there were plenty of people at the time who recognized that a strategic mistake was being made and said so loudly and were ignored. As is so often the case, the reason they were ignored is capitalism.
CyclesBecauseSummerIsComing😀@carnage4life I would love to know how somebody can be so not aware that the physical world adheres to its own laws and not to the leadership drum. And that therefore knowledge and competence of these physical laws is an asset.
Can anybody explain me, in simple terms? Please?

@CyclesSmiles @carnage4life I think it’s like in the movie Inception - if you spend too much time in your Excel spreadsheet dreams, thy become your reality and the physical world becomes just a story that you can change at will. At least that would explain a lot of otherwise mysterious behavior that I‘ve seen. What do you think?
@mff @carnage4life no. Even after working 25 years in it, I cannot really think that people really live inside an xls spreadsheet so much that Physics does not apply anymore. You know remembers have their spreadsheets too, and you trust their calculations on smartphones and others stuff, don't you? Why not on the rest?
Morten@carnage4life Holy shit, he told management to gaslight the most experienced and talented engineers in the organisation?
Alexander The 1st@carnage4life There are a lot of job postings that expect job experience doing the same job at another company first.
I can't help but feel that, seeing that quoted passage here, that maybe CEOs should be the exception; "The less previous experience you have as a CEO, the better.".
Frances LarinaWhy should we assume the board has learned it's lesson at all? No one says that about private equity company leadership as their latest acquisition spirals the drain. We simply assume Boeing's motivations.
