>>1971972>>1982153I know it's a now-cliche, but CGP's "The Rules for Rulers" video makes a good point that those rules apply not just to government, but to any organization with stratified power structure that appeals to governance. And in those organizations, a ruler emerges by who best satisfies the relevant keys of power dependent upon them.
What I see being labeled as a Competency Crisis is more of an Accountability Crisis that results in incompetence:
The obligation to bear the consequences for failure to perform as currently expected is insufficient to affect the desired material change in the system. The reason I split the hair is because bringing in (and hopefully hiring) competent individuals is also a questionable response if those individuals are seen as adversarial by those in the existing company culture.
If Boeing is such that those who most control the direction of the employees at Boeing and split-offs do not consider the researchers, developers, line workers, and their immediate management to be primary keys to their kingdom, it's going to get worse before it gets better (for Boeing).
Real talk the lack of a company trying to eat Boeing and Airbus' lunch is what leaves me most uncertain for the future of mass air travel.
