Alea,
if I took on the CEO role at Wave, I would probably bring in some people from banking. This is where a large part of my trusted, professional network exists. Does that mean I would run it like a Bank? Heck no!
Perhaps Solms is completely off the rails, but I presume based on all that I have heard, that he is taking a well thought approach to Wave's future. If Cypher's comments have any credibility, of course there is going to be complaining.
It sounds like the uninspired Wave employees had it pretty easy with no clear accountability. In my experience, hard working people who truly like adding value, want accountability. Those who like it easy will fight accountability to the bitter end. From my understanding, there has been a huge culture change. This can be difficult for anyone. The one thing we do know is that the old way was not working. I think Solms is smart enough to know that this does not necessarily mean you need to do a 180.
I am not judging things one way or another, just stating personal experience.
