>>When some boss does not follow her advice and does something stupid you can blame the boss, I will blame her, for not being convincing enough.<<
George, shame on you! Sounds a lot like the beer guzzling slob who was always complaining his wife didn't clean up the place. And you call me sexist?
Not that you're a slob, George. I don't mean to return the insult, only reveal that yours was flawed.
As for IR people, I don't agree that >>it's [their] job to get these powerful people to pay attention.<< I suppose they can and should try within limits to sensitize upper management to IR needs but from the other perspective a CEO has lots of other things to worry about, many of them of greater gravity. Please don't misconstrue this as sexist, too: don't mistake surface makeup for the underlying complexion, the beard for the chin, or the PR for the product.
I respect Ellen and her position for what they are, but I don't think it honors either to elevate them to "powerhouse" status. |
