scott retired today. As he said when he told us a couple of weeks ago, he served at the pleasure of the chair, and she did not want him to serve any longer. He did a lot in his 43 years. I think that all of his managers like him. I am not sure all his field officers and line staff did, but it is was it is. I was happy to work for Scott. As I have said many times, if Scott was the manager of Burger King, I would work for him.
I know that things will change in the office, just not completely sure how much. I will have the support of Truls, I am just not sure Truls will have the same polical clout as Scott. He still has the weight of Multnomah County, but not sure that is enough.
I still have the challenge of my team and getting them to do anything. I would just like o complete a project in less than six months. I am tired of hearing that it is impossible to forecast how long a project will take or that we can't possibly set a date. I just do not know how to build a sense of urgency in them.
Truls did give me some advice today to work with Lisa. He said meet with her often, be kind, and over communicate. It sounds a lot like keep your friends close and your enemies closer. That is an accurate way of how I feel.
