Exactly. To me a Potemkin village is one or two steps further away from reality. The Potemkin village is unoccupied and has no potential for occupation. All involved in its construction know it's fake.
My team was sincere, worked hard, and definitely got some good stuff done. Just not nearly as much as we wanted.
- psb217 5y agoIn this metaphor you're the buildings, not the builders.
- wpietri 5y agoSame thing then. In the metaphor, the buildings' only purpose and only outcome is to fool. One of our purposes was to get things done. And we definitely had some impact. If the public/regulatory pressure stayed constant, we would have gotten some more done. We would also have gotten more done if executives had taken it more seriously, of course.
