I remember attending a Rugby Club Dinner where the after Dinner Speaker was a Receivership Professional.

He gave a humorous and animated talk on why companies go bust. The main reason was blind obedience to those above.

The funniest examples were those of family run companies where as the company sank into decline the owners sacked all the people with REAL experience and expertise and allowed family members without a clue to run things. Leading to the inevitable hands of the Receiver.

Who, having professionally analysed what caused the business to collapse, realise who did/does what and sideline the family incompetents and brings back those that actually ran, and were flagging it up to deaf the ears of, “the company owners” before they were sacked by those same incompetent owners.

Blind obedience without challenging?

Crazy

More than that - it is a form of cowardice in my book.
