I'm a technical person and so it happened that at my current company I moved up a bit and eventually ended up being part of the management with C-level meetings.A lot of things that used to seem plain stupid and idiotic, no longer do so,because now I know the background story as well. Also,for various reasons(lack of resources,time,etc.) a lot of great ideas coming from people below me in the company's hierarchy will never get anywhere,which is shame.
