It has vision, is smart and takes some leadership. They are 18 months into it, but it is sound. So far it is working (full disclosure, six or so months ago I bought HP because they looked to be finally attacking their problems with Whitman)<br /><br />I think the same way in racing: We need a five year plan. We don't need to switch surfaces one year, switch back the next. We don't need half assed takeout reductions for pick 5s. We dont need a hundred other band aid things we see in racing, which are not focused on a long term prize of growth. <br /><br />That's the point of the post, present examples excluded or included. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment!<br /><br />PTPPull the Pockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05082676049275768769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-18494948534430614502013-05-26T08:30:24.034-04:002013-05-26T08:30:24.034-04:00PTP - Long-time reader and fan of your blog.

But.......<br /><br />I can't let it go that you are using Meg Whitman as a shining example of leadership. And this is neither a left/right, liberal/conservative observation:<br /><br />Whitman embodies the back-scratching, board room culture that owns America, runs Washington, DC, and controls the media. They nearly sunk the world economy a few years ago and can do it again tomorrow with the same lack of accountability and remorse as in '07/'08. Follow the money trail and check her ties to Hank Paulson and her Goldman Sachs board seat.<br /><br />People like her are "bashed left and right" for very good, well-analyzed reasons.<br /><br /><br /> jamesphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607923720458834783noreply@blogger.com
