Although the experiment to allow the "arrogant and incompetent" to lead L-3 CSW has been oddly interesting, (really, could these boobs have done any worse?) you have to ask the question “how in the hell could this have happened?” Aren’t big corporations motivated to make profits, increase shareholders value, and stuff like that? It’s costing L-3 untold fortunes, lost customers, the inability to perform, damaged reputation and personal harm to employees and their families. And yet the ‘leadership’ is doing just fine with their inflated salaries, bonuses and stock options despite how badly they are bungling things.
Maybe the current state of affairs has resulted from a “Darwinistic System” that has somehow perversely developed at L-3 CSW. It appears that the L-3 selection process for advancing up the ranks has somehow morphed over time and determined the preferred characteristics of brown nosing, buck passing, manipulation of the truth, passive aggressive bullying and the ability to vilify others while self promoting to be most desirable traits. The selection process for promotion has resulted in the current group of sycophant suck-ups to rise to the top of the management structure.
It is not the strongest or the most intelligent that are surviving and prospering at L-3, but those who can best deny reality, and seduce senior level management into pulling them up the chain of command. Psychopaths love being surrounded by sycophants. Greed and self-interest may have gotten them their positions, but those character traits can only yield more destruction, loss and pain. It's time to find new leadership. Sorry, but sometimes the truth hurts and often when it does, it should.
