Re: You can't Manage Tranformation it must be Enthusiastically Led
Good post. I agree that enthusiasm is critical in the area of leadership. I also agree that good management is critical in driving progress...which can ultimately result in transformation. However, we differ in the idea that someone is either an enthusiastic leader or a good manager. The most effective and enduring leaders I have worked with have also had very strong management skills. They were not necessarily the ones in the trenches on a daily basis...but they possessed an understanding...

Re: Senior VP wants P4P Access!
My thoughts on a Senior VP's request to join: a.) It illustrates the level of legitimacy this site has attained. b.)

Maybe the possibility of reaching that goal is hampered somewhat by the lack of senior management participation. Wouldn't the ultimate be to have open dialog from all sides? c.)

Re: Is selling at cost the future for print hardware?
I think this is hilarious. When all else fails within your business model turn to being the low price leader. What ever happened to selling value. I thought business were in business to profit. I would be curious if they stole their current business model from RBS. Being the low price leader will get you somewhere for segment 1/2 but you sure are not going to be a very healthy & profitable company long term.
