Dan 4.1.1: Greater Expectations

Dan the Hyper-Active Boss Man's expectations for the new regime are reaching the point of pre-coital anticipation: the Board of Directors, five months into office now, have chosen a new President!

These past few months have been frustrating for Dan. To string together as many cliches and mixed metaphors as possible in a paragraph: The winds of change were in the air, but the air was smog-filled with delay. A Company-wide Review was announced with great pomp and circumstance, but the many-headed mob of Management responded with fear and loathing. Only Dan, upright Dan, cooperated with full-throated cry of "Excelsior!" (The state motto of New York, apropos.) "Excelsior!" he cried, "Ever onward!" And onward Christian soldiers he marched - albeit to the unintended beat of a different drummer - to beat down the doors of Tradition (aka the Legacy Veeps) and help the Board establish a New World Order of Progress and Reform. It was the End of History.

But, first, the Board set itself up as a Search Committee to find the company a new jefe, don, shogun, fuhrer, chief, head of state - President & CEO.

The search is now completed. The lists scoured and the candidates vetted. The Best Man for the job has been found.

It is - one of them.

We have a new President and Dan the Hyper-Active Boss Man is ready to serve!
