IBM does not need fresh leadership, they need leadership! As was said leaders inspire, willing to dig down and see that the troops are doing/thinking. When Ginny visited sites the local leadership hand pick who they wanted to interact with her. They stacked agile areas with mgrs pretending they were workers. IBM does have some good leaders left, but they are being drowned out by the 100s of VPs who do very little or nothing but make charts. Yes charts are needed, but does a VP need another VP to make them? That is a position a band 8, 9 or may I even say 10. Some of this started with Lou. I remember hearing of a person at my site sending him a email. His response was to the person's manager telling them to control their employee. (now granted I do not know what was in the email and maybe that response was warranted, but still not the way to do it) IBM can be saved if the right leaders are put into the right positions. But I am not holding much hope that will happen anytime soon.
