To be fair… Fuzzy nailed it. I used to work with one of the CEO’s children… waaaaay down at the far rungs of obscurity. Now, I’m not going as far as to say that the kid’s not smart, or won’t do well at the top one day. But it’s very difficult to think of a world where this kid is NOT a CxO of somesort, less because of his abilities/accomplishments/worth ethic and moreso because of his genetic history. However, it’s much easier to accept when the phrase “started off in the mailroom and worked his way up the ladder” is tallied about. Because… you know… it’s kinda true.
And this, my countrymen (and women), is how you avoid political upheaval. Some of us still haven’t learned that lesson and still choose to skip the steps we think are unnecessary.
