you have a current US president who has never read the Art of War.

likely most company leadership, besides Hedge fund managers, have never read the Art of War either.

this results in management that lacks a strategic focus - they want to win the next battle (down in a valley, while giving the enemy an upper hand to be on the hill).

your infantry (low-level ICs) are smart and capable - and the org is actively pursing means to deskill them via some shit called (A.I) - your colonels (mid-management) are comfortable in their laurels since anyone who raises a voice is shown the door (hell most of them manage people now & don't fight anymore)

then you wonder why the country, the org is losing. but hey at least we posted a massive valuation.
