A nice
InfoWorld article on the power and influence top executives really have at companies. The sad thing is it took an actual study to point out what has been obvious to people that are on the fornt lines.
I think that one point that was missed at that often times execs that might potentially be decent often purposefully build barriers betweent themselves and the "real world" just so no one can challenge them and expose them for the clueless wonders they often are.
