[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 593809, member: 927"] First, I mention IBM because I have many friends there. Not too long ago, it looked like they were going to be down for the count. Microsoft had eaten their lunch and hardware was no longer the cash cow. They are a much different company today. Still huge, but much more entrepreneurial. Look at much of what they are doing now. I think they are leading again. I was only pointing out that "maybe" Davis will be good for us too. So far, I like him (I met him many times, so that colors my opinion). To your question. Yes.... I think UPS became a corporation and not in a good way. I am disappointed that we often cannot make a decision and seize an opportunity. We need to move faster. We need to be leaner. We need to be bolder. Management will need to adapt. I heard a quote from a CEO of a dynamic company last year. He said that he has a 2 pizza rule. No meeting can take place where you cannot feed everyone with 2 pizzas. Keeps teams small and lean. P-Man [/QUOTE]
