had empathy. Good managers know how to listen and can demonstrate real empathy in the form of actions. BTW, when Fiorina took over HP, the company had been in slow decline for awhile, she was brought in as the savior.
I Cardiac Surgeon doesnt work in a vacuum, hospital administrators make his or her work possible. Try having heart surgery in the Cardiac Surgeons examination room of his or her office, same skilled person, likely a dramatically different outcome. So, skill and expertise alone alone is only two factors involved with success or failure, in a complex situation, there is a massive number of other factors at play. No, I would not let an MBA do heart surgery on me unless that person was a proven heart surgeon also, but I also would not let a heart surgeon who demonstrates poor decision-making in the lead-up to the surgery operate on me either, regardless of his or her experience.
Farmers and Ranchers are hosting wind turbine now and are making money that helps their farms or ranches survive. So, nothing has to be torn up, the approach that I envision would work around the work on farms or ranches, but utilize poorly utilized space on those operations. I would redesign concrete partitions on highways and large patches of grass - I would put plants there that utilize CO compounds 24-7, but safety of drivers would be a factors that cant be compromised, so the plants selected would need to meet two criteria, efficient carbon compound sequestration and not cause distraction to drivers or obstruct their view.
