We did have some of our own management problems. Some of the clients that went under, to our detriment had gotten to be bad news and we told our president for a couple of years we needed to dump them when we could, but he apparently felt a certain sense of loyalty to them because they helped build our company in the first place, etc. He was a nice guy, probably too nice to be hardnosed in business dealings when he needed to be.
Then, the president found out it was more fun jetting around the country checking out golf courses than keeping his nose to the grindstone, etc. He lost his wife over the deal, not to divorce but to Lou Gehrig's disease. Apparently she was a carrier and the stress of the company failing triggered it.
Like I said, I could write a book. What was eerie was a year or so before the axe fell, I took a class in Human Resources Management at the University of Nebraska, and the professor, totally unknowingly, assigned me a similar situation as a topic for a term paper. After the fact, it became startling to see the comparison between my term paper and what actually happened to our company.
