National event chaos?

What has happened to NHRA is all to typical of corporate America today. Walley Parks, Henery Ford, Lee Iacocca all had a vision AND experience in their respective industries. Walley raced, Henery actually built his first cars, Lee came up through the ranks and knew the business. Now the board of directors, most of them without experience in the industry whose board they sit on, hire a "bean counting" cost cutting CEO to run a business he/she has no experience in. The business course they took at Harvard was taught by a professor who most likely had no "real" world experience in any type of industry. All they know is theory with no understanding of the "nuts and bolts" they manage.

The one size fits all business plan / mentallity is a sure thing if failure is the desired outcome.
