This post starts by telling it's lauded idea of not single threading large purchasing decisions. It's simply irresponsible not to. Even the poster knows that, and that's why he thanks God that another C-level actually showed leadership. Honestly, reading the post, everything points to this guy being buddy boss. Bosses should create a positive work environment both at and away from the job. They should not be friends outside of work with their subordinates (yes, I know this is speculation about this guy, but the principal is true). I wish all these c-level folks with their making sure any shit they create always rolls right past them and onto someone else would just give their money to the person actually shoveling the shit... Because they recognize value.
