[QUOTE="flyguy1, post: 1993034, member: 92595"] I have to speak up for older folks in management. If there aren't a few gray heads around the table in industries other than marketing, and other "soft" segments, you're going to have problems. They lose focus on quality. Too many (certainly not all) young executives focus on flash and lifestyle. Look at where the companies featured in the book "Good to Great" are now; they lost their senior management and pretty quickly lost dominance. And flashy products that fail to perform their primary function. If you look at Toyota, who was at the forefront of the Quality movement (actually conceived by W. Edwards Deming, an American engineer, who went to U.S. car companies first, but they wouldn't listen) the reviewers of their vehicles (millennials mostly) continually complain about the lack of high-tech gizmos, but their engines and transmissions sure last. They value senior management while certainly making use of young talent. Older doesn't necessarily mean wiser, but it often does if you pay attention. And to recorrect the correction it's "the love of money is the root of all KINDS of evil' is a more accurate translation. If you read the Old Testament or look at the divorce statistics, lust plays its fair share too. Thus endeth the dissertation. ;) Pray for our President! [/QUOTE]
