Just check out Maria Bartaromo the next time she interviews JC. He makes her blush and squirm like a schoolgirl <lol>. I am told that Southern Gentleman do that to all the ladies from the North... :) I've often thought the best part of CPQ might be a replacement for CF in Capellas. IF you can't lead your own company such that the troops are behind you rather than complaining about your jet, pay package, makeup staff, etc.... it makes me wonder how you will lead a larger company with an even more diverse culture after merged... You did not hear the type of crap from employees of GE when they wanted to do a large merger and Jack Welch was even more brutal in firing under performers than CF. Then again, that man was a true leader. Kirk out

This post was lifted at the Yahoo Zoo: Jack Welch's opinion on all this.... by: chuitob Long-Term Sentiment: Strong Buy 12/14/01 05:59 pm Msg: 79732 of 79798 Last time I told you that Hewlett was an idiot when he initially voted for the merger and later changed his mind and everyone jumped on me for that. Well guess what? Jack Welch gives his two cents on this in the latest edition of BusinessWeek. if you don't believe me go and pick up an issue and read it for yourself! Here is what he says: The GE chairman says he doesn't know whether an HP-Compaq merger makes sense. But, he says, for a board member to vote one way and then reverse that stand is "unpardonable, it's a sin. It's corporate governance at its worst." He says this type of reversal wreaks havoc as employees who hate change think "they can get things back to the good old days."
