Ever had a new CTO come in with "ideas" that have already been explored 10 times over by the current staff (that has 50 more years combined experience in the industry) that won't take no for an answer? Instant motivation deflation.
- notus 8y agoThe attempt and failure of an idea doesn't mean the idea won't work in your current setting. It usually means the implementation was off.
- griffinkelly 8y agoThis is the heart of it. Anyone can come up with an idea, few can execute it.
- kgwxd 8y agoOr the implementation of an actual new and good idea was interrupted by the arrival of a new CTO that stops the presses and convinces the funding company their "new direction" is the way to go, leaving the better plan on in the trash, unlikely to be resurrected until the CTO's plan fails, years from now, or the knowledgeable staff goes off and starts their own company.
