Changes at Leadership Turn
I hate saying goodbye. It isn’t something I’m good at and it isn’t something I enjoy doing. However, I know it is easier to say goodbye when I know the person leaving will continue seeing great success and will continue being a friend. That is the case with Jonathan Farrington who said goodbye today.
Jonathan has been with us since April and has done a tremendous job. He’s improved the blog, grown the traffic, built a loyal readership base, won awards, and more. His tenure, though a bit short by some standards, did nothing but good for Leadership Turn. For that, I’m very grateful.
Jonathan is pursuing other ventures related to this expertise in sales. I have no doubt he will continue seeing lots of success and will do a great job wherever he goes. I know that I, along with everyone else in the b5media Business Channel, wish him the very best. The good news is that Jonathan intends to contribute occasionally to Leadership Turn and help out when he can.
It is my pleasure to introduce Leadership Turn’s new blogger, Miki Saxon. She introduced herself earlier today and wrote a terrific first post. Miki brings a lot of business and leadership experience to Leadership Turn and we’re very excited to have her on board. I am confident she is going to be a great addition to Leadership Turn and that the blog will continue to get better every day.
Welcome Miki!
Doug,
It was a tough call to leave but you know better than anyone the pressure I am under right now and my workload.
Better to be realistic now than start missing deadlines, which I have never done.
You did not mention your imminent departure and the effect it had on my final decision – because that’s the kind of modesty I have become accustomed to from you.
There are very few editors who could manage a feisty old francophile who naturally rallies against authority, but you managed it.
It was brief, but you know, some of the best experiences in life often are – I have convinced my wife of that, but it took a while :-)
