That's why decisive leadership is so important. It's really hard to work towards a goal while the people in charge keep changing their minds.

It's hard when the newest executive fad is not making any decisions at all.

"I'm just here to ask the right questions".

You ain't getting paid 2 million to ask the right questions. You're here to find the answer. I can have any person off the street ask me the right questions.

I doubt that. "Asking the right question" really means being able to identify which problems exist. From the anecdotes I read on HN about dysfunctional companies, this is sorely lacking.

Actually I find with products consumers use every day, they are able to ask the right questions fairly readily.
