If you want to play semantics the continuum would be very incompetent to very competent. Your assertion about it starting at “least competent” is wrong.
Again, I don’t think ‘incompetent’ is a measurable thing. It is a value judgement of competence against an arbitrary standard.
Do you really think people don’t get fired for their jobs for being incompetent?
I’m sure it happens, but the vast majority of people who are sacked aren’t sacked for incompetence. Given competent people miss out on jobs, ‘incompetent’ people are generally weeded out during the hiring process. Especially where it’s a high consequence role with a lot of money involved. Employers can afford to commit significant resources to candidate vetting.
You absolutely can make the wrong decision.
Agreed
Are you saying someone can’t have sufficient information and just use poor judgment in their decision making?
Why would you think I’m saying that? I’m not defending anyone’s decisions because I’m not privy to their decision making process. Instead I am criticising your judgement (and others like you) for criticising the club’s decision makers. You don’t have access to their decision making process so you don’t know. However I am well aware of your decision making process, because you merkins post it ad nauseum on the internet. If the club was happy to make its decisions with as little information as you merkins do when criticising the club on the internet then yes, I would be critical of the club.
But you are just projecting. You have f**k all information required to understand the club’s decisions so you assume the club also has f**k all information. Or worse, you assume the information you have (from watching games, reading the media, and hearing rumours) is the entirety of the information that matters.
There’s a reason why CEOs can sacked when companies perform well. When Apple was in trouble do you think Steve Jobs just got lucky compared to his predecessor or was he demonstrably a better decision maker?
The fact is we don’t know how much luck was involved. He’s obviously highly competent or he wouldn’t have gotten the job. But plenty of highly competent people also oversee business failures. They still end up rehired, because failure is one of the possible outcomes of risky or competitive activities such as commercial enterprise.
You can judge whether a good decision was made based on outcome and results. Everyone-both insiders and outsiders has demonstrable data to make that call.
No they don’t. Risk is inherent to all of these decisions, which means that outcomes are affected by factors out of the decision maker’s control. From the outsider’s perspective, they can’t tell the difference between poor decisions and bad luck. Often the insiders can’t even separate the two.
You and I are both internet deadshits mate. If you say nobody has a right to have an opinion because we aren’t part of the organisation then neither do you. You’re doing the exact thing you’re criticising people for. Just in the opposite direction.
This is what I said above. I’m not defending their decisions because I don’t know. I am criticising your claim that you have all the information necessary.
They might well be making poor decisions, but you and I certainly aren’t in any position to tell.
The idea that we can’t have an opinion on something because we have insufficient information and then to go ahead and defend the organisation with the same lack of information is rather contradictory.
That’s because you’re conflating two different things. It’s true that we don’t have enough information to assess the club’s individual decisions, but we certainly have enough to assess the club’s overall ability to make decisions. By any metric the current mob deserve a pass. They don’t deserve to be criticised by rugby league journalists or the types of idiots they are writing for.
Even if you think there was always a chance that Dunster could’ve had a career ending injury right after signing a long deal, or that Moses was going to become injury prone, or that JAC might go off the rails and disgrace the club. Of course all these things are possible. Your problem is you think the club wasn’t aware of it.
