Ever notice how most 'management' has never even done what the people they manage do?
I have had very few bosses who could put up instead of shut up. They get my upmost respect and I need'nt a reason for doing what they say. The majority however... the pencil pushers who shmoozed their way into a comfy seat in what they think is show business not only lack an eye for design but they lack the ability to deal with artists the properly. It's tough to follow a creative director with no creativity or direction and it's a shame great talent has to split before the higher ups can see what the real problem is. Such is the case though... over and over again. This is why you often see the manager type go shortly after a handful of great artists split ironicly, making the place that made the artists leave now pretty cool.
I imagine our industry is no different than any other in this regard. I mean, the boss's son runs many a company world-wide. Works out well in the long run. Someone has to make stuff work ya know? May as well be us at proud rates.
