Fascinating - I've heard many variations of the "MBAs come in and apply Process to terrible results". I wouldn't hire these folks either, though I haven't worked in such regulated industries, so I can't comment as to what happens there. As to #2, I've met folks with lots of experience who think that makes them right all the time, and folks with lots of experience who have learned that they still have much more to learn. It sounds like you've hired the former - and I'm not trying to say "You hired bad, don't do that". This is an incredibly tricky thing to filter for, it may not be apparent until six+ months down the line. I'm thankful my current employer (Netflix) has worked hard to hire & retain only the latter. I'm also impressed by your humility near the end - it's clear to me that you're the sort of experienced folk who keeps learning. Thanks again for your perspective, especially from the regulation side of things.
