Thats why I will go to war for my current CEO. We are a start up and we wear many hats. Thats leads to expertise problems and failure.
His mindset isnt who did it? but rather right away "How can we fix it"

I once sat in on a rather humorous job interview. The applicant had a 14 page resume (only 13 if you don't count the full page photo on the last page). The guy showed up to the interview with multiple 7 (or more) inch binders full of gage procedures.
It gave me flashbacks.
In my careers, the most expensive conventional tool would probably be a multi-channel oscilloscope w/ logic analyzer. It wasn't as quick to setup and use as an (also expensive) digital multi-meter, but over the years I used that thing to solve more problems (with hardware and software) with electronics than I can recall. It's been years since I needed it however, and it would only help me with a small number of the current problems I have to tackle. I often yearn for the days when all I had to do was figure out which signals to watch and then decode them in front of others so they could witness learning through observation for themselves.
My 2 most expensive tools were over half a million dollars each (A LC-Quadrapole Time of Flight mass spectrometer and a high end Scanning Electron Microscope)
But my valuable tool was my ability to learn new things.

Our municiple judge, a jurist of the old Arkansas style and beyond measure, called it the "Parlor" or "Bastille" depending on the seriousness of the infraction.I just love that Randy said "vocabulary" and "hoosegow" in the same thread.You don't see that word very often these days.
