Weby, as a former risk officer at a top financial institution, I learned there are not as many bright bulbs out there as you would think or hope. People clamor for status quo and tend to listen to the person with the loudest voice without thinking for themselves. I literally could write a book on the meltdown and some of the foolishness in thinking leading up to it and during it. The point being, everyone should rely on their own judgment.
I think Steven is a real wild card. Without knowing a lot about the guy, he seems to have at least done some amazingly positive things related to the positioning of Wave. However, he does a lot of damage to the shareholder base with his actions and has a fundamental lack of understanding on how to gain credibility. He is a walking oxymoron. If he is hiring without solid grounds for doing so, you can wipe the oxy from the oxymoron.
It is possible to be smart, humble, credible, likeable, etc... I have seen some evidence of #1, but some of the other qualities appear to be hiding. Somebody should hold a note card in front of him when he speaks reading, "Under promise, over deliver". Above is probably disjointed, but I have no time for coherent thoughts, lol.
