There’s an infamous anecdote with Jobs doing this. Tharanos had the same “two teams” story.

A lot of CEOs who think they’re the next Steve Jobs, don’t understand their own tech, and presume the solution to their technical problems is a lack of “motivation”.

Creating a skilled skunk works team to handle a critical problem is a great idea. Making two? And putting them in conflict? It’s like throwing your a steak to your dogs to have them fight over dinner. Idiocy.
