I'd buy her "how to get a great job even though your abilities suck" book. | |

| I've seen this before I worked for a company in Atlanta and one of our VPs was an OK guy. Later, when I moved to California I heard he took the CEO position of a company that was out of business in months, then took the CEO position of another company that was out of business in months. Apparently, he had become a liquidation CEO. Boards of a company that want to sell themselves off (for a profit of course) or shut down an ailing company would hire this guy who would spout promises of future successes but who's true intention was to sell/close the company. He had this finance guy he always took with him. Haven't heard of this guy in a while but anyone who calls LH these glowing terms must be in the market to: sell, shut the place down, or was just released from the mental ward. | |

| I dunno.. I really don't think you can lay the blame for Sunrocket on her. The companies business model was determined long before she took over and it's that which put the company out of business.
Undoubtedly it looked pretty good to her when she first joined the company. Lots of customers..growth..and a hot new industry.
Unfortunately, what the company really was was essentially a pyramid scheme that used new customers money prepaid up front to fund the operation for as long as it would last.
What she is probably guilty of is being pretty ignorant and not questioning the viability of such an operation before joining it. But, on the other hand..maybe she did and figured it was a big paycheck for as long as it would last.

| Upper management: Take 100% Credit, 0% blame That's the cool thing about being upper management, your performance means nothing.... for no matter how badly you fail, there's always people below you to take the fall (and the blame.) Just exercise your golden parachute escape option and bail out...and onto the next gig... (After a suitable vacation, of course...)

| Re: Upper management: Take 100% Credit, 0% blame Its obvious from these posts that the free enterprise system isn't working very well. Don't the free marketers posit that the market would get rid of incompetence like this woman? Obviously the market rewards these losers for incompetence. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark! | |

| She is a smart cookie. I am sure she is very competent and savvy business woman. I can't blame her for the failure of AOL broadband initiative. AOL core business model was centered around dial-up, and for the broadband initiative to work AOL would have had to change their culture. Lisa was an outsider with little chance changing AOL cooperate culture. Sunrocket was taking on water and listing before Lisa got there. She was suppose to help bail them out, but when you have a big enough hole below the water line it's only a matter of time until the call to abundant ship is sounded, and there was nothing she could have done about that. | |

| Re: She is a smart cookie. If you believe she is so good, watch the high priced hires she brings in to increase the payroll, something she has always accomplished in her career...
SunRocket could have been saved, but she will never be a company saver, she is poised to guide this company into the shoals of failure...

| Neustar manages the .US domain space... In October of 2007 Neustar was re-awarded management of the .US namespace. Most "domainers" agree that the space has been mismanaged.
Maybe the Department of Commerce would now reconsider GoDaddy, who also bid on managing this space »www.dnalliance.us, as a viable alternative...

| Happy to hear Lisa is back in the game, a note to the staff: To the IT department:
Get ready to make a lot of aliased email addresses for all her new hires. Don’t worry though AOL.com is only 7 characters.
To the HR department:
Get ready to see a lot of new executive level staff arrive and money leave.
To all the current directors and Vice President’s:
See message to HR department. Hopefully your new bosses will smile upon you, doubtful. But lets hope!
To the non executive staff:
You actually ok, don't sweat it unless your in IT, HR, accounting, or marketing.
To the stock holders:
Sorry folks, better luck next time.
To selection committee who choose her:
Suckers! | |
