The best engineer a few decades ago was someone who could create the most beautiful beam or structure; today it's to do a structure you cannot see or understand how it's done. It disappears and you can talk only about color, symbols, and light. It's an aesthetic of miracle. — Jean Nouvel

While boards are better today than they were a decade ago, they continue to be far from optimal. Many directors depend on the income they receive from serving on boards, and as a result are reluctant to challenge management on strategy, risk-taking, or compensation. Often, they are business, social, and or charitable connections among the directors that reduce their independence or willingness to speak-up. Many CEOs prefer directors with no experience in a company’s principal lines of business because it makes it more difficult for them to challenge the CEO. — Bill Ackman
