> Everyone has worked with a terrible executive at some point in their career, but most executives aren’t awful. Almost all executives are outstanding at something; it’s just that often that something isn’t the topic you’re communicating about with them.

I'll save y'all the time and tell you what that something is: climbing organizational hierarchies. Executives are good at becoming executives: glorifying themselves, stealing credit, shifting blame, pandering to superiors' weaknesses and petty idiocies.

The fact that OP got this so wrong, and spaffed such ridiculous pro-employer bias on the page, discredits the rest of the treatise.
