That does not extend to their typical political persuasion however. I spent 4 years there and got a belly ache from all that conservative politics. Back then, they were going ga-ga over VP Spirow Agnew. Pre-resignation and pre-prison sentence, of course. The names have changed but the politics hasn't. "Make a decision and stick to it." That is the busy CEO's mantra for "decision making in an environment of uncertainty." No paralysis by indecision, no crying over spilt milk, no agonizing over trivia. Makes sense when you know you have imperfect data and no chance of understanding all the factors in play.
