That isn’t quite right. When you are appointed DRI at Apple it means you are responsible for getting that problem solved & you have the authority to move whatever mountains are in your way. I saw more people blamed for not supporting the DRI properly than I ever saw the DRI getting blamed for failing.

You usually don’t get that type of appointment unless leadership is confident you’re the right person to be successful at it anyway.
