On Charley's song (the chorus is posted above):

The major problem is that turning "a blind eye to the storm" was only the final straw. Maybe you meant it ironically?

It was all of the blindness to ALL of the things that should have been seen and dealt with. It was the hazard of an inexperienced crew having such a lovable captain that no told him he was wrong. It was duct tape, superglue, and a final, defiant "YEEHAA!"

I've been in organizations with all sorts of leaders. Ones who want to be liked and aren't big on boat-rocking are dangerous. You can have an ignorant boss with an experienced crew, and it works if they listen to each other. You can have an experienced boss with an ignorant crew, and it works if they listen to each other. Somebody needed to challenge the way things were being done, but if the captain didn't know, and the crew didn't know, who should it have been.
