F.S. "Eric needs to have the guts to recognize this and start the process of splitting Novell into two companies: 1) an inside Novell which is geared to it's legacy past; and 2) to an outside Novell which more fully and directly embraces outside forces among communities of investors, customers, individuals, groups, associations, networks." Would Jack Welch at GE have to split up a company just to get its culture unified and on the same page? I don't think so, and that kind of leadership is not unique just to Welch. Novell is not some giganto organization that is as hard to turn as the QE2. It's this little company in Utah and Silicon Valley. I'm afraid that ES just doesn't have the experience, and needs to listen to those who do. If necessary. he needs to hire a proven, top-notch management consulting firm to help him, and the sooner the better. IMO
