| So, then, what is the next move for the Confederacy as they attempt to overthrow our Republic? They have a "White Knight" problem and that is of a greater heft than their cumulative efforts so far; in fact, that effort works against them to a degree inversely proportional to their investment in it without the "White Knight" as its apotheosis. Who can successfully conceal their intentions?
First, let's look at the X factors. A start-up or a multinational corporation, whatever is the organization, whether it's a sports team, an invisible fund, or some other words-- what does it take to lead and when the time comes get that office? So what will determine who gets the next week of undefined energy and focus? They continually face trade-offs in time and an increasingly fragmented job where centuries of changes have played many roles, as multiple stakeholders have attempted to partner against them in arrangements which have taken power from markets and flat organizations.
Through the challenges ahead their CEO will need to possess a varied set of credentials, as well as the ability to guide prudently at this time as if they are someone who intimately understands the history of professional "Kingsmanship." The new multitude of professional political factions are like the judges in tennis and it would be wise to tap a "tennis insider." Industry "knowledge" is simple marketing but experience will also be critical as they move forward.
Does the new CEO need diplomatic skills? Management can actually be much better and should be much better if they say: "I'm going to destabilize things, even though things are not broken, because there's a risk it could take away one of the marketing schemes that I need to characterize my fear as seeing an opportunity rather than as simple fear." But unless a large majority fear the precise and identical thing this is not a wise strategy.
Opportunities, fear....another common trait in successful CEOs is not being afraid of situations well beyond their ability to synthesize or to connect dots. Simple untapped fears in the Internet era, where information is easily accessible, can no longer fulfill every aspect of presentation. |
