@Setanta,
I used to move people around all the time at AT&T, and later at GM, to see who could swim and who had lead weights on their ankles. I’d take a person from marketing and put her into an operational job, or swap out a person in communications and put him in a technical job. Or pluck somebody out of the management line three or four levels down and put her into a senior position.
Thank you very much Setanta. It should be ankles. I am reading a new book written by Ed Whitacre.
