Smart People Hire Smart People
My pal Dameon turns the tightest phrase I've seen with this question -
Who Will Be Smart Enough To Hire Dan York?I've been "laid off" in corporate reorganizations several times in my life. It's never a good time. Even when handled well, it just plains hurts. As an outsider looking in - watching Mitel - I can't help but believe they've made a serious mistake. But for a company in that mode, mistakes are common too.
Inter-Tel and Mitel just recently finished merging. As is the case with many mergers, some people are let go. Unfortunately, Dan York was recently thrown overboard from the good ship Mitel.
Dan's speaking at the ITExpo in Los Angeles next week, and frankly, I'll be quite surprised if people there aren't in pretty aggressive courting mode trying to woo Dan's talent. He's one of the sharpest knives in the technology drawer. He's got uncommon breadth and depth, coupled with superb writing skills and stage presence that aren't always present in a technologist.
I'm really interested to see who's lucky enough to win Dan over. That's going to be a company to watch.
