The parting of the ways between the English Football Association and their expensive Manager is an appropriate metaphor for today’s business world.
After a period of 4 years and at a cost of some £24 million, Signore Capello has left the team in a demonstrably weaker position than when he took charge.
How often do we see the same in a corporate environment, forget the obvious example of Mr Fred Goodwin the architect of Royal Bank of Scotland’s woes, there are numerous examples of people commanding rewards far in excess of their skills or expertise.
It is an all too common fact that many people heading up companies have little understanding of the business which they purport to run.
The ultimate irony is that even when they manage to sink their business they are usually shown the door with a sizeable pay-off as a reward for their ineptitude.
