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.

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

The point is seeing that THIS - the immediate, everyday and present experience - is IT, the entire and ultimate point for the existence of a universe.

It is the close observation of little things which is the secret of success in business, in art, in science, and in every pursuit in life.
