No company is hiring anyone to SEARCH for messages from aliens. Most people don't seem to think there's MUCH benefit to it. The lack of interest is, I think, because most people don't realize what EVEN a simple detection WOULD really mean.
I am deeply honored by the trust the board has PLACED in me to lead Duke Energy. I have a high DEGREE of confidence in the strength of our COMPANY's leadership and dedicated EMPLOYEES.
A team may have some great players, but typically, the team that works best TOGETHER does the best. I look at RUNNING Broadcom in the same way. We have a culture where people have different skill SETS, but they are HAPPY to leverage their skills to help OTHERS and to help the company.
PUBLIC hangings are teaching moments. Every company has to do it. A teaching moment is worth a thousand CEO speeches. CEOs can talk and blab each DAY about CULTURE, but the employees all know who the jerks are. They COULD name the jerks for you. It's just CULTURAL. People just don't want to do it.

My grandparents - both of my mother's parents - were actors, and they RAN the READING Repertory Theatre COMPANY, through the town of Reading, where I COME from.
Being a woman in control of a company - EVEN a SMALLPRIVATE company, as ours was then - was so singular and surprising in those days that I necessarily stood out. In 1963, and for the first several YEARS of my working life, my situation was certainly unique.
I was really amazed when I started hearing 'Songbird' on the RADIO. I couldn't believe that the RECORDCOMPANY promotion department had actually convinced radio MUSICDIRECTORS to play it -because there wasn't anything like it on the radio at the time.
Being a pop-leaning, FEMALE artist, you'd THINK that I'd have my record company breathing down my neck and trying to control everything I'm doing. Actually, they've just KIND of let me take the wheel.
In many cases, the user interface to a PROGRAM is the most IMPORTANT part for a commercial COMPANY: WHETHER the programs works correctly or not seems to be secondary.
