CMOs Dissatisfied with Quality of Candidate Pool

Now substance matters? For years the highest and most enduring qualification has been to know what to kiss and when. Example: Quite frankly, if I were one of the passengers on Sully's flight, I don't give a hoot how nice or fluffy you are in the work environment, or what your coworkers think of you. I want you to know what you're doing. Sully is a rare breed. Perhaps if the financial services and other industries sought true quality people, they'd get true quality results. Instead, they choose to hire airheads that can compliment their threatened bosses and coworkers to keep them feeling warm and fuzzy. Ask any one of the 155 passengers aboard that US Air flight if they care about Sully being a team player and if he said all the nice things people want to hear. The most assuredly wanted someone who knew what they were doing. This world desperately needs more Sullys (substance) and less fluff. Is the corporate world dissatisfied with the looking lot because they are not Stepford employees or because they might challenge the boss?
