No surprise to hear whining about the CEO from Mr. Foster.
IMO, when you are looking for a CEO, you want a combination of things
and way down on that list would be someone that is familiar with our
sport. THAT...if he shows an interest, he can learn. What I would look
for in a CEO, is stuff that is a little harder to pick up overnight.
Like leadership, the ability to communicate, a good grasp of business
fundamentals and organizational skills.
On that note, I think from what I have observed, is that he seems to be
very willing to learn about our sport and it's players....and he seems
to have the skillset to be a figurehead also. The man was very available
for us. Heck, he even spent an hour or so with Mike B! That is going WAY
beyond the normal call of duty! (Just kidding Mike, nice to have met
you).
I know it may be for show, but it was a nice gesture to see him out
working the course.
