The president of our company, a man I greatly liked and admired, died unexpectedly last night.
When he arrived to take over three and a half years ago, I said at the time "Is this business leadership? I don't think I've ever seen it before." My morale soared, and I stopped thinking about leaving the company. He turned us around and got us going in the right direction. While we now have a lot of talent in the upper positions, including a CEO who impresses me, his death is going to leave a big hole.
I don't think we're going to get a lot done today.
