Effectiveness of American Businesses

A series of studies on the overall effectiveness of American businesses have concluded that if a soccer team functioned as do most businesses only four of the eleven players on the field would know which goal is theirs. Only two of the eleven would care. Only two of the eleven would know what position they play and know exactly what they are supposed to do. And all but two players would in some way, be competing against their own team members rather than the opponent.
We hear CEOs testify in court that they have no idea what is happening within their companies.
It appears that the lowly employee is not the only ones who are not sure what they should be doing.
