to draw on the cliché: life is full of surprises (yet somehow–that's what makes it all worthwhile)

Yup, saw that last night.  *Chuckle*  Ken never really did like Steve as a CEO, didn't expect him to pull this, though.  Maybe I should apply…

Dee Hock or Jeff Swartz?  Nah, I'm really thinkin' Seth Harris is the guy for the job.  Screw turquoise, we're talkin' ultra-violet cognitive line, mothuh-fuckuhs.  Sure, his kinesthetic line may still be around amber, his values line a mere magenta, but this guy will get shit movin'!  Soon as he gets his ass off the couch for a bit.

Ah, those lovely growing pains again … life at the “bleeding edge,” right?

Alright, I retract prior statement.  Fuck being CEO of that whack corporation.  Who'd want to take the helm of a ship mostly sunk?  Fuck that.

Okay, want to explain that a bit more Seth?  Why is II “mostly sunk?”

He didn't add that one of the requirements would be putting up with the assho–ahem–author who wrote the job discription.

And I thought wilber's version of integral was done with color language??? Oh well…

Why doesn't he just hire himself anyway?

Again, we don't know - maybe Steve was singularly unskilled for this position - either in the people skills - vision, teambuilding, delegating, managing - the execution skills - time management, process, goal setting and accomplishment,  fundraising -   Maybe there was a personality conflict.  Maybe Steve quit - a simply issue like the finances were not there to pay him.Maybe Wilber, never much of a team player - imposes him preferences upon the CEO in a way that is desrepectful.  Maybe someone is a liar/asshole/jerk.

Who knows? 

All we know is that Steve isn't considered by Wilber an “official CEO” - despite the announcement of three months ago letting us all know Steve was CEO.  So there is an obvious discrepancy between what Wilber is saying, and the “facts on the ground”, so to speak.

Its been an interesting week.  Three of the top guys have already left. I wouldnt be surprised if 1/3 of staff was gone by Jan by their own choice.  I-I is not mostly sunk.  Its a ship at sea that took a major hit.  Ken is convinced he can rebuild the boat better then ever.
