I think the Black Management Forum, besides having to answer for how they get away with having an exclusionary organisation, has to explain to the public how they ever thought that Jacob Maroga was a decent CEO, based on his track record.
Chief Executive Officer actually means that you are the one driving the business, you are the one making the hard decisions, you are the one sharing in the spoils when things go well and you, sir or madam, are the one taking the flack when things go south. It's like being the head coach of a professional sports team. The buck stop with you and if your "team" is not performing, then you are without a job.
So I am interested to know, brothers of this exclusive management clan, what is your definition of a CEO? Surely being "management" experts you guys know all about it...funny then when a palpably useless executive is shown the door, you lot (along with the kindergarten) drag that dead race horse from the stables and then proceed to ritually flog the rotting carcass with chief whips of ignorance.
Hey? What's potting people?
I'm starting to think that having you comment about acceptable business practice in the modern world is a bit like asking George Bush to give an advanced physics lecture to the planet's leading scientists. Hell we may as well ask Kim Jong-il to write a book about political tolerance and get Joost to produce a video dealing with the topic of monogamy.
Don't you get tired of talking absolute shit?
Don't you long for the day when your opinions are held in high regard - instead of being the butt-end of whispered jokes in parliament's hallowed halls? Come on boys and girls, surely we can expect more from a forum dedicated to the excellence of Black Management than the empty rattling of race, every time a similarly-skinned professional is shown the door due to lack of performance.
Lots of people get fired, every year, for failing to perform their tasks (at the very least) in a competent manner.
Excellence is colour blind and the UIF queues are filled with black, Indian, coloured, Chinese and, yes it's true, white South Africans who either were unlucky and got retrenched, or got fired for being crap at their job...
Let's stop politicising everything and start calling a spade a spade, shall we?
Let's stop pretending that the world is against us just because we are of a certain race. Let's stop thinking that we are owed something, or that we are entitled to fortune and glory. Let's stop acting like a bunch of kiddies fighting over whose ball it is and let's stop building forts that exclude.
None of us deserve the spoils of excellence...if we are not excellent ourselves.
