The Nice Guy Paul Kennedy is a good fellow who trusts people, and he 's in line to become CEO of Daner Associates. Is he tough enough for the job? HBR 's cases, which are fictional, present common managerial dilemmas and offer concrete solutions from experts. 7:01 AM Driving East on Clifton Boulevard Toward Downtown Cleveland Damn. I 'm still stuck in traffic. Accident ahead? Thank goodness Larry doesn 't show up these days until 11:00 at the earliest. I can get a lot done before our one-on-one later today provided Lisa finalized those projections for the European offices yesterday. Once she 's plugged the numbers into the forecasting model, we 'll have our economic case close to perfect. When I show Larry the expansion plans, he 'll give me one of those arm punches and tell me how great I am. Maybe he 'll say he 's finally ready to pass me the baton. We could jointly announce it at the company meeting next week. Poor Sheila. She didn 't look well this morning when I kissed her goodbye… Amy had the sniffles last night. Hope we 're not in for another winter cold. That 's two already this year. I don 't want Sheila to be sick on Friday. We 've got reservations at Giovanni 's. Jeez, married 15 years already. Hard to believe. Can 't wait 'til she sees the diamond studs I bought her. Note to self:
