Bad is the New Good

What once were seen as isolated pockets of bad management and horrible leadership now appear to be a prerequisite for being given additional leadership assignments. As a result, the lunatics are indeed taking over the asylum. While a lot of sane people have chosen to sneak out while they still have a chance, others of us are committed to complete what we were chartered to do. The question then becomes "is there any reason to continue the battle?"

For me, the answer is absolutely! It is no longer a matter of getting the looneys to see the error of their ways, change their behavior and become truly great and honest leaders. The quest now is to find those few, sane and rational leaders in the company, and enlighten them about what is happening around them. After all, they will ultimately have to deal with the impact of lunatic-management. Our mission is to build a coalition of sanity to stop this corporate cancer from eroding the heart and soul of the company.

Time is of the essence and we must act quickly and in stealth mode. The lunatics are in charge of dispensing medicine to the rest of the patients in the hospital. Every week, more and more body bags are loaded into the big trucks. No one should have this power without sufficient checks and balances!

Perhaps an anonymous email to the CEO is in order...
