wantobe you are correct. I have stated earlier that I wish we knew more about Diedre. She is unproven. Leadership positions in GE mean nothing to me, and her last 2 executive positions lasted only a couple of years. She has been there since July. the next few months will tell us how good or not so good she is. lets keep our fingers crossed. "Evidence beats disbelief" and the evidence of her talents will be in the numbers. that is all I care about, the NUMBERS !!!
