How many leaders did we have last year? How many do we have this year?

Other notes

• Let's talk more than just new hires and "replacement"
• Where have we been, where do we need to go
  • With the roles from that, then we discuss who can fill what, and who to draw in
• mrc suggested that fundamentally, we build leaders and leadership.
  • now go think about how all you want to do fits that theme.
  • what are tools, projects, and results

• Greg's reply: Do we build leaders?
  • Being a catalyst is "OK" but fuzzy.
  • "We make stuff happen."
  • What we DO is help people to do stuff with their interests
    • tools - TOSW, CoP, etc.
    • Why and how are we trying to build capacity, and how do we explain it?
    • Example is POSSE: Interesting stuff, but how to make more brand equity vs. "Red Hat Leadership Development College"
