I then realized I was going to be in trouble ... they didn't actually want to know how to fix things ... they were interested in much more important things. One of the much more important things, as Lynn Wheeler has mentioned in earlier posts, to any given highly placed executive is the maximization of his own compensation under whatever specific details are in his signed contract with his employer. Sometimes such people make decisions that maximize their own immediate compensation at the long-term minimization of other less important things, such as the continued existence of the employer.
