So this is the result of forcing an entire city into a panic – a shitty photo of Air Force One with the Statue of Liberty behind it. This picture is so bad, anyone with Photoshop and a little bit of patience can do this.
I mean it – instead of scaring New York City residents, and costing US tax payers over $300K, any reasonable decision maker involved in this would have commissioned a artist to whip something up in Photoshop.
In less than an hour and costing just a few dollars this could have been recreated. Hell, I’ll do it for free – so White House people you just hit me up next time, okay?
INCOMPETENCE – And Your Business
Good thing the douche in charge approving this mission, Louis Caldera, resigned over the issue.
And here is how this all relates to your business – incompetence and lack of communication.
I truly believe that a big part of this country’s (the world’s) problem is due to incompetent people in positions that can (and often do) affect large groups of people negatively. One person has so much decision power and so little competence that the fact of this person being in the position practically begs for problems.
Louis Caldera was a White House military aide. Not a cabinet member, not a high ranking military official. A person like this should never even have the authority to authorize such an important mission.
Who is the person in your organization who has more decision making power than he/she should? Is it you?
Who is the person in your organization who should have more power but doesn’t?
