“The blend of stupidity and energy in a manager leads to an ambition that is far from commendable.
This kind of ambition is often self-serving, indifferent to the broader welfare unless it aligns with personal advancement.
Such a manager lacks moral courage, as this virtue is frequently at odds with personal ambition.
With experience, they may acquire some knowledge and demonstrate caution, craftiness, and decisiveness.
However, they will never be wise, just, loyal, or entirely truthful.
Unfortunately, this type of individual often enjoys a successful career.
When stupidity is paired with authority and tempered by experience, it can resemble the drive of a skilled professional.”
