Reading the posts today, I see how the RISK issue in COTE is approached as a determiner of whether one invests or not. And time is a factor of risk - how long will one wait esp after intitial timelines were exceeded. As regarding time, if I cannot exceed my initial expectations for certain company goals to be met, then I must account for why I am still invested in it.
As for GC, there is no longer anything he has to prove or do. He no longer is the issue; it is now: what action do I take? Please note: recently, I was playing Texas Hold Em on long flights. Got a little testy after a while if you know what I mean. Could be an attitude forming ?
