Tillerson is a great example of an exec who gets to the top recycling the conventional wisdom and once at the top lets his staff set the agenda. Surprising number of top executives are like this and a lot of the highest ranking people in the military as well.

Just got off the phone with a friend who is an engineer. He told me about one of the “star” execs who came down (previous employed) to further a “robotics” project.

I know my friend is telling the truth. He sees the rank stupidity that exists in the world. This “star” was so blindingly stupid we wonder how people get to that kind of position.

I don’t want to give out the details to help maintain his privacy. It just boggles the mind.
