An "ah-ha" moment.

libertangoI was flipping though this week's Fortune magazine when I spotted this offhand citation, in an advice column to a worker with a demanding boss:
"Realistically, you probably can't change your boss, so you have to ask yourself whether you want this job badly enough to tolerate the long hours," says Roseanne Badowski, who has worked nonstop as Jack Welch's executive assistant for 13 years and wrote a book called Managing Up: How to Forge an Effective Relationship With Those Above You."
Yikes. That gives a whole new spin on the Welch era at GE. Perhaps Jeffery Immelt isn't doing as well as he might not because he's being compared to Welch, but to Badowski?
Like I say, a kremlinologist kind of moment.
