There's a Dilbert cartoon that my buddy has on his wall.  They're in a meeting and discussing issues about what is going wrong.  Someone says one thing and the other guy says, "I was hoping it would be something that isn't anyone's fault."

That's the conundrum.  JAB is a human being and has been doing his job, [I]exceptionally well[/I], for a long time.  However, everyone gets complacent at some point and aging can definitely lead to that.  In our engineering firm we have a sizeable corporate structure with piles of VPs that have been with the company forever.  They're in their 60s and 70s.  They did a lot of good in their day, but they're also limiting growth now and not particularly productive these days.  It's easy to skip a trip or two, or delegate more and more down to subordinates.  And everything can be fine for a while, but at some point the rust starts to show and people wonder why there's this "sudden" problem.  It's fruitless to ignore the problem or cover it over in an attempt to avoid having to blame someone.  Avoiding potential real issues is simply detrimental.
