Enbridge, A Mircocosm?

During a February 2012 interview with the US National Transportation Safety Board, Allan Baumgartner, the company's new control room operator, admitted that hostility, poor training, favoritism, and chronic staffing issues all played a role in the largest and costliest freshwater spill in the U.S. Midwest.

Internal competition, a lack of training, favoritism, etc?  I think there are more than a few examples of how that story is playing itself out across the board, and has before.

The solution isn't more silos or greater top-down management.  The solution is proactively and collaboratively thinking ahead.
