The business world - as it relates to strategy and human capital.

You're so vain...

Monday, February 14, 2005


I know.. for the longest time, I've been a huge Carly fan. Yes - it's that easy, Carly. There was Herb, Jack, Sam, Bill and Carly. The larger than life CEO's that were the figureheads of their organizations.

She, (other than Bill Gates) is the last of the crowd to leave. Well, in her case - forced to leave.

You have to give her credit. If for nothing else than to have the courage to spearhead the merger that started it all for her... Well, hold on.. that was the last truly brave thing that she did. What she didn't do was step aside soon enough when her leg of the race was over. Alas...

It was a long ride, and she certainly made a name for herself.

It will be interesting to see what the next generation brings as far as celebrity CEO's?

Anny Mulcahy? Steve Jobs (again)?? Bob Nardelli???
