Scientist:
A person who learns more & more about less & less until he knows everything about nothing.
Executive:
A person who learns less & less about more & more until he knows nothing about everything.
I’ve heard the first half of that joke, but not the second. Brilliant! But by that measure, wouldn’t a Politician be one who knows less and less about less and less until he knows nothing about anything?
Try running a decent-sized corporation without a qualified executive – even one with a poor track record is better than most people who don’t know the first thing about running a business.
CEO’s are like lawyers. They’re absolute scum, unless you happen to need one.
I didn’t think running a business had anything to do with running a corporation. One has to actually produce a product, the other just has to appease stockholders!
You can’t appease stockholders if you don’t make money, and you can’t make money if you don’t sell product, and you can’t sell product if you don’t actually produce product –

I like how our Broomie stands up for herself, on his desk, to speak to him face-to-face, looking him right in the eye….

This is a lot like an old joke:
Man in employment office: “Is there a job with great pay and easy hours, which doesn’t require a lot of hard work or special knowledge?”
Man behind counter: “Yes, and I’m keeping it!”

Well, it’s kinda simple, really –
You can’t appease stockholders if you don’t make money, and you can’t make money if you don’t sell product, and you can’t sell product if you don’t actually produce product –
– as hard as you might try –
