When you take over a company or become the CEO and the culture has become complacent, lacks motivation, and no change is possible, so the incoming manager fires and replaces key people, but doesn't cut deep enough or replace enough people, so new people cannot make positive changes and are sucked into the complacency. Coined when Marissa Mayer took over Yahoo! but she could not get the ship to move in the right direction because the culture resisted. Hardened attitudes limit leadership.

A down to earth dreamer who takes really good pictures and is fantastic at editing. She's an environmentalist, vegan, and a lesbian. She's a member of PETA and a musician. She is very unique and has almost 5,000 facebook friends but says she only knows probably about five of them.
