I don't like our long term prospects for success with the current talent pool in the executive suite.
I totally agree with you; however, in current corporate world, people don't care about leaving legacy behind, they care about bonuses, and golden parachutes. They bring nothing with them and leave with millions. Till the corporate rules will require officers to invest their own money when they take over corporate managment resposiblilites, these people will never care about legacy of the business they run; and for certain, they don't care about employees, because we are just numbers in the books, a mere resource, just like the planes. The only motivation for these people is money and fame, and the only way we can get them to perform is if they have thier own skin in the game. I'm not talking about stock option or stock award, I'm talking about a real hard cash personal investment of their own money into the company they taking over, with freezes for 5 years. This is the only motivation for them.
