			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Walking back from the Global ICT Townhall meeting with our Section Chief, I was eloquently waxing frustrated (frustratic?) at the collection of totally uninspiring bureaucrats who assembled to present an ICT strategy that&#8217;s supposed to drag us into the 21st century.</p>
<p>Save for a perky fresh hire young enough to be the daughter of every other person on stage (who had to resist the urge to channel her inner pop-star when she took hold of the hand-held), these guys exhibited the kind of enthusiasm for their respective projects usually reserved for root canals or invasive surgery.  They looked defeated before they&#8217;d begun and projected the image of inevitable failure and futility.</p>
<p>So I was totally laying into them to my Chief on our way back to our offices, saying they should staff this thing with thirty-something year old drop out tech heads from the Valley with extensive experience in failed start ups. And then put some ex-CEO, Silicon Valley evangelist-type with VC contacts and some serious tech cred. Someone&#8230; Someone&#8230;</p>
<p>Then he goes, &#8220;Guy Kawasaki.&#8221;</p>
<p>And I go nuts, going, &#8220;Yes! Exactly. Someone like Guy Kawasaki!&#8221;</p>
<p>This is all by way of saying, I&#8217;ve got one of the coolest bosses in history. He gets it. He gets me. (He <em>completes </em>me.) And he knows of Guy Kawasaki. (And OK, no, he doesn&#8217;t complete me.)</p>
<p>He&#8217;s the one who should be running that show.</p>
