You are so spot on target that it's almost creepy. Exactly what I saw when I returned from working in Japan to working in the United States. I realized the executives running the energy companies I worked for were completely snowed under by the technical jargon of the incompetent status-seeking "managers" as I constantly had to work around their lack of ability so that I could do my job. Unlike the Japanese managers, the Americans read some articles and talked the talk, but that was it.
- muzani 9y agoI have seen very few companies that aren't like that, after consulting dozens of people and companies. It's a stereotype by now. They pick up some trend from mass media, like big data, deep learning, react native, and everything looks like a nail.
