Given the activities of the past year, I think it is fairly obvious that succession planning had not made it to the top of the priority list - there are interim leaders in several roles now, many of whom are stepping up in ways that were not planned. Risker/Anne Sent from my BlackBerry device

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community survey to support the WMF ED search starts right now

In the last ED selection, I had thought that experience in the private sector would be good for the WMF ED to have. I was a bit disappointed with Sue (I know that some people liked her on a personal level, but on a professional level as ED she was also partly responsible for a variety of

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia-l Digest, Vol 147, Issue 43

I would urge caution at reading too much into the A.T.Kearney study. It is quite plausible that companies in trouble may decide they need a turn-around specialist, almost certainly an outsider. While some will succeed, companies in trouble are almost certainly going to underperform those that were
