    Translated: "We got tired of hearing the dealer complaints about the display costs for the Ryker."

    No, I don't have any inside knowledge, but I always enjoy reading press releases that attempt to paper over something as basic as, "He lost the argument over our future direction."

    I have an MBA. But I'm so glad that I'm retired and I don't have to say things like “By naming two co-leads for the group, the synergies will be amplified as they focus together on the main priorities.” ever again!

    You're welcome but I didn't have to do much digging. Google News fed it to me as an item of possible interest since it's about Can-Am / BRP.

    Much can be interpreted from the tomes that are written in "ivory tower gobbledegook."

    I did not recall seeing the term "paradigm" in this one though.

    Anyone ever seen an aricraft carrier, or any ship for that matter, with two captains?

    No, but corporations don't function like the military, so I'm not sure it's relevant.

    Two Co-Leaders usually means the company is not quite sure who will lead it into the future. An arrangement that almost certainly will be short-lived. A new Wonder Boy/Girl will magically appear and rescue the company from its' disfunction..... Jim

    The co-leader situation is, no doubt, an interim situation. They'll either find the one person for the job, or divide the functions into separate management areas.
