Who Wants to Get Hit by a Bus, Anyway?

Who Wants to Get Hit by a Bus, Anyway?

Fred had an accurate if somewhat morbid posting today about succession planning, one of the many higher-order HR tasks that small entrepreneurial companies are particularly bad at.  He’s completely right — for one example in our industry, you only have to look back about 9 months or so to Phil Goldman’s shocking death to see the impact it had on Mailblocks.  I’ll have to post on succession planning in a startup in more detail sometime soon.

    Glad you are not the CEO who laughed ;-) (or the other CEO he referred to for that matter)

    Nothing morbid about being prepared. Nothing morbid about looking before you cross the road.
    Nothing morbid about having life insurance.
    Wasn’t talking about me either…..I believe!
