The biggest crisis for CEOs is the financial crisis. However, symptoms precede this financial crisis; staff around the CEOs stop offering advice. If the staff believes that giving advice is futile and will only worsen the relationship, they will refrain from providing further advice. Nevertheless, most CEOs perceive their aides differently when they remain silent. The CEOs interpret the staff’s silence as a resolution to the conflict of interest. Ultimately, the staff’s silence inevitably precedes a financial crisis. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

After that, each subsequent mistake proves a lack of wisdom. People rarely change, so instead of trying to change them, we should wisely change the system to which they belong. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
