If you were in a meeting where an executive set a clearly impossible goal, would you be more likely to feel a huge swell of motivation or to grumble at the water cooler about clueless business types ignoring the engineers?

It always stuns me what people are able to explain away when it comes to these Captains of Industry.

If we can realize the goal is ridiculous, surely the engineers who work on this full time will realize it's ridiculous.

This is, by the way, why I support much more open borders than we have now. There is a humanitarian case to be made, but I also have a strong desire to be able to pack up and leave when I disagree with my country's government.

I would have a stronger civic spirit if I were a willing member of my country rather than a prisoner.
