Even in business settings, human connectedness happens heart-to-

"If you want to see how indispensable you are," goes an old saying, "put your hand in a bucket
of water, and then pull it out. See how big a hole you leave."
That sentiment may comfort all of us who have had to pore over staffing spreadsheets,
choosing who will stay and who will go in the rounds of layoffs, downsizing, right-sizing or
buzzword-du-jour that have cycled through the baby boomers' management careers. It could
have been voiced, too, by a Board who recently decided to bring in an outsider to replace its
departing CEO. The internal candidate considered by most to be a shoo-in for promotion to
the top spot was terminated.
The outsider looks the part of CEO, acts the part, is the part. To the external world he's a
great choice, who has exactly the capabilities that are needed to take the company to the
proverbial "next level."
How different it looks from the inside! Although the internal candidate had known for several
months that he would not be chosen, the announcement came as a shock to employees. Like
the day Kennedy was shot, "where were you when you heard about the new CEO?" is
something everyone shares. People's expectations and hopes for the future were in free fall,
like a car breaking through the guardrail. Nothing anyone could do but wait for the inevitable
crash as they hit bottom.

blackout. Someone had shut off the switch. No lights, no energy, no forward movement.
Everything stopped.
