Healing and consolidation will not begin until top management starts acting very differently. Employees have been adapting and suffering for years and now they're waiting for the execs to finally give a little. They need to rebuild the employees' trust that Ginni completely destroyed. But while they have to do several good things to start rebuilding trust, a single bad move can doom it. Arvind's first layoff will instantly convince everyone at IBM that the problem is still there.
Ginni steps aside and not before time. Perhaps there will be a time of healing and consolidation now.
A better CEO choice could have been made by selecting someone in line at a Dairy Queen.
Yes she will still be a member as long as she pays her dues I don’t think Ginni was really ever interested in golf, so she may let the membership expire as it’s expensive
So will Ginni still be a member of Augusta?
Excellent choice!!!

Ginni has ruined many thousands of careers and families. May she live long with her memory and conscience intact.
Krishna's been CEO for far too long. When's he going to step down so Whitehurst can take over?
