You don't really understand the value of a role until you see someone great for the role.

This adds to a lot of the bad feelings. Some people are great at marketing, but if you work for someone mediocre then it's easy to see how you will think they are worthless.

On the flipside, you don't know if someone's great until you have seen someone mediocre. They may be preventing all sorts of fires, but because you don't even know those fires could exist...
