Spenc,
I don't think there is one thing to worry about as far as relating to the folks goes.
JMO but the impression I have formed of MB is based on his actions, words, dependability/follow through, the people he associates with and the manner he reacts to what are IMO, everyday typical difficult, negative, frustrating situations and possibly even some intentional attempts to cause him to lose his cool. IMO opinion he is able to carry himself in a consistently dignified way. This leads me to believe he is the kind of person who will, I think will just naturally interact with the people whom IMO, he is more than aware will be hosting, assisting and most likely participating with him in many aspects of making the business a success. I believe him to be the kind of person who just treats others as he wants to be treated and this may have been missed due to the level and volume of opposition which may simply have been caused by the unknown and the prospect of change which usually makes folks uneasy. Also he may have been just giving them time to become comfortable with him before he makes any overtures which might be misconstrued.
After seeing this project and MBs actions so far IMO there is probably not many people (CEOs) who would be as sensitive as MB seems to be and I bet already has made it a priority to reassure people and prove to them, he is genuinely concerned for their community and probably knows well he must put them at ease, gain their trust and communicate to them once he makes a personal commitment to them (which he sort of already has) he won't let them down. I get this impression from the way he worded some of his PRs. I would be floored if after seeing how well he has thought things through to this point, he “dissed" the most important element, of all, the people! Not going to happen, IMO.
JMO,
Nez
