This was my takeaway too. Too much talking about doing at big corporate companies, and not enough actual doing. Drives me up a wall.

- mrgreenfur 7y agoBut isn't it the exec's job to make sure there are people aligned to problems worth solving? Yelling about problems does nothing without staffing and accountability.
- pas 7y agoJust blindly handing off problems has no added value. No, if the CEO tasks an executive with something that guy/gal should responsibly* think about the task, analyze it, break it down, and hand off "smaller" chunks to underlings. And smaller could even mean a lot more detailed but with better scoping. Fixed budget, concrete goals, etc. * - said exec should/must ask the CEO about the priority of this task, what other tasks will be demoted, is it possible, do they have enough budget, resources, timeframe, etc.
