It makes more sense once you take on a senior level role in those big companies, you start to see how a single, charismatic and convincing person can mentally mobilize (over a period of time) a large group of people to align with their hopes and dreams.
I was baffled by this as well, until I got closer to it and got to see "how the sausage is made".
It is amazing what a confident, strong personality can do in a group of people in _any_ setting.
- siscia 11y agoWhat is this "How the sausage is made" you are talking about ? Is a video you can share ?
- ascorbic 11y agoIt's a quote, with an uncertain source. "Laws, like sausages, cease to inspire respect in proportion as we know how they are made"
- jon-wood 11y agoNot the OP, but its an English idiom rougly meaning everyone loves sausages until they see what goes into them, at which point they lose their charm.
- bglazer 11y ago"How the sausage is made" is an American idiom. Generally, it means "a process that makes a good thing but is chaotic or messy". We say this because sausage is tasty, but most people prefer not to see all the animal parts being ground up and stuffed into an intestine.
- cubano 11y agoActually, I think it was the German Von Bismark who could be attributed to the quote... "Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made."
- CydeWeys 11y agoOther people already explained the idiom, but here's a video of how sausage is literally made, because you seem interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQbZ8KbZP5Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQbZ8KbZP5Y
