The Street Chimes in: Dear employees "shat for you this year", SAIC could not wait till January? While direct supervising CITYTIME execs get soft landings and keep their profits from CityTime. Deb is a cheerleader about her soft land, not a hint of responsible ownership, not a chirp...one would hope she's turn down the volume "go team go!" She states in Washington Technology article, that her non micromanage ways its what has made her successful. huh?, head in the sand? competent usually means owning responsibility and some amount of humility.
“After this I could have changed how I operate. I could question everything that people say. Not delegate. Try to micromanage everything, but those aren’t leadership qualities,” Alderson said."
"But her attitude – “You have to regroup quickly,” she said – led to a remarkable comeback."
