Do they just want more money? Do they want this company (RIM) out of business? I don't know. I can't read their minds.

It does reflect the fact that we think we are a different company to where we were two or three years ago.

If we're going to become the kind of company we talk about in terms of business acumen, we have to have a pipeline of really great business leadership coming through,

My goal when I came to the company as president was to grow the business to 15 stores. This helps us realize that goal.

Everyone seeing that deal understood that an outfit like Lee wouldn't put that kind of money into a company like this without taking it apart and putting it back together again.

Why are we here? I think many people assume, wrongly, that a company exists solely to make money. Money is an important part of a company's existence, if the company is any good. But a result is not a cause. We have to go deeper and find the real reason for our being.
