the three people to fire immediately, according to management consultants . . .

This from Bloomberg:

Fire immediately:

1.  People to whom you have given too much work with inadequate resources to accomplish the mission (and who actually point this out).

2.  People with enough experience to realize which ideas have a good chance of succeeding, and which ones don't (and who actually explain why).

3.  People who have spent years developing specific expertise and have the temerity to bring that expertise to the table.

I wish this was satire.  But it isn't.
