Institutional stability

President of the Czech Republic has a rather weak position - we do not have a presidential system like USA. Some of his decisions have to be approved by the Senate (like new judges for Constitutional court), but some don't. The prime example is Czech National Bank, which board he names himself alone.
CNB had a good start - previous president did not have any idea about economics and he knew it, but he was rather lucky in choosing his advisors. They have chosen the right candidates and he appointed them (no, really). The CNB gained some reputation.
Current and future president does not know much about economics, but he thinks he does. Because of that he chooses new board members himself. There are some obvious criteria one has to fulfill to be a candidate. You have to present at VK's funclub (CEP), you have to say what he wants to hear (ideally, you should mention that the whole idea about global warming is a plot to enslave free world, that number of species is growing due to the human presence on the earth), be opposed to euro and some other things (people say it does not hurt to be a young, charming guy, but I don't know anything about that)
This brings me back to my original though. What happens if you appoint complete morons to the top of well established institution? How long does it take before it rots? How long before public will learn that? These questions are particularly funny because VK promoted to vice-director (chairman?) a guy, who wrote such unbelievable articles to the newspapers (and insisted on their publication) and signed them as a member of the CNB board that he has to have all his future publication in the name of CNB approved by the CNB. I guess he will now be his own supervisor, so we are in for a number of funny, surprising, yet somewhat sad, articles.

I have asked this question myself repeatedly. When a new student organization is founded, how do you make it stable - able to attract enough people to keep going? When Academic Senate happens to be composed of people smart enough to elect a good rector, how do you make sure that it will happen next time? If you are a chair of national student organization (I never was!), what do you need to do to make sure that there will be a good candidate to take your place?
I don't know. Right now, I dream that CR will have euro soon, but this is unlikely to happen. So these "friends" of VK have a chance to screw CR once again. That's the main reason why JS would have been a better president. Probably.
