Maybe this guy shouldn’t be president of the BART board? I mean, lots of other people quoted in the article seem to know what they do.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoThe role of a President is NOT to set strategy or even understand it. That’s a CEO. The role of President is to gladhand and otherwise maintain relationships necessary for the partners to feel safe continuing their contracts. That kind of “aw, shucks” mentality is very useful for this.
