Opinion: One Titanic insight
Posted in: Uncategorized
Edward “Ted” Smith was the captain of the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sank on April 15, 1912. But I’ve often thought that if a rookie captain were at the helm that evening, the ship would be afloat to this day. This is pure speculation, of course, but I know several metaphoric Ted Smiths and they are captains of industry.
Before we begin, I want to take a moment to assure you that I mean no disrespect to those who died or lost loved ones 106 years ago today. I recognize that last Sunday was the solemn anniversary of a tragic event. That said, Ted Smith has at least one more lesson to teach us.
Captain Smith
