One thing is knowing someone at a lunch - I had also this pleasure -. 
Another thing is understanding what he really wants. And it is a litle 
bit complicated when you don't get any elaborated explication on a 
strategy, and have to analyze 3 personal profiles of ceos in 6 years.

And Jan-Eric, you are right, in my opinion, to say one can be blinded by 
some personal VMS history, but there are a lot of ways of being blind, 
for example when you have to be a leader in some complicated situation, 
and you apply usual practices, not knowing well where you are.

The north europeans, in the old times, conquered groenland and north 
america with very small boats, because they did know the northen oceans. 
The phoeniciens in the same time, could have failed. Both were very good 
sailors however.
