Thain’s Swiftness Praised in Wall Street Journal
Posted on September 17, 2008 in Leadership, News by beafields
Great article today in the Wall Street Journal: Thain’s Swiftness Praised; Fuld’s Hesitation Faulted.
This article is worth going out and picking up a copy of the WSJ for September 16. The article applauds Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain for his quick action, decisiveness, realistic view and his willingness to bring in an outsider’s perspective…all top skills leaders of today are going to need.
The article also gives you the down side of Lehman’s CEO Richard Fuld for not acting more quickly and decisively earlier in the year when Lehman began to unravel.
