Title: ARRL: New CEO Search Post by: N1BCG on January 20, 2020, 02:37:14 PM http://www.arrl.org/news/barry-shelley-n1vxy-to-become-arrl-interim-ceo The ARRL is not the right place for someone accustomed to the ultra-structure of the military. There's a lot of talent and experience in Newington, but it's going to take someone who's not afraid to hear the truths from everyone, not just pre-filtered information from immediate subordinates. It's much too small an organization for either a Fortune 500 or military hierarchy. Nor do I believe that the research firm hired to determine how to improve the organization should have used the organization's own employees to provide the answers. Imagine that, new CEO with military background and unknown personality combined with "So what would you do to improve the ARRL?" Not a very comfortable scenario for participating employees. A successful CEO at the ARRL needs to encourage free communication and seek answers from the membership: current, former, and potential. |
