Monday Morning Memo

“In the ’90’s I was an Electronic / Avionic Engineer at Boeing. I was putting myself through law school at night. There were two things happening at Boeing that were influencing Boeing in a disturbing way that stood out to me on the management level. First, was the business school theory that management need not understand, nor manage, the product or the process because they just had to manage the people that understood the product and the process. I knew intuitively that was incredibly wrong and wouldn’t end up well. The second, while I was slaving away with my studies to acquire my advanced degree in law, senior management would select themselves to attend a 6 week Harvard Business School program whereupon completion they would be awarded a Master’s Degree – benefiting both management who could brag about how many Harvard graduates they had, and Harvard in how many icons in industry graduated from their school. Nothing to do with DEI, but everything about a lack of basic understanding of accountability, hard work, and ethics. These are the people that are now leading our country, the politicians, the bankers, the business leaders.“

“Haggard, Inconstant Splashes of Beauty…
I stole that line from the ending of an Italian movie about a guy who, on his 65th birthday, begins to reevaluate his shallow life. The movie is visually arresting but a bit of a downer.

Life can be like that, too, even when it’s not a shallow one.

Visually arresting sights are all around us but we’re too pressed for time to notice. We’re in a mood, in a hurry, in trouble, in a crisis or incapacitated. We’re anxious or angry, distracted or distraught, bedazzled, bedeviled or bedraggled.

But still those splashes of beauty creep in – barely noticeable at first – but there they are, haggard and inconstant, limping and laughing, splashes of miracles that would show up more often if only we would notice. “
