Its not only hard to word right on a resume, its very difficult to 
display those skills in an interview. Especially since in most case, the 
person that you are interviewing is the leadership. Criticizing previous 
leadership is not something most leadership wants to here. Even if they 
*were* incompetent.

But I suspect that is par for the course in the IT world :)
