low level . He does not want to hire himself out of a job, spoke to brad last night he wants a coo so that he does not feel demoted
your choice!, ( brad maybe does have insight - to your credit, might have been right when he said- jeffrey you should realize this is only about leon not wanting to pay more money , ( i ignored his summary , along with his comments on the risk of fracturing
summary
I can either do it for you or not. if i do it it means finding hiring organizeing, structuring reviewing re negotiating, bring in my team under my control not brads. . stop -gap accounting - my people getting the books software and procedure in shape. setting up the various brokerage and bank accounts and rationalizing them, organizing Melanie, TPS , house, and all the intra family notes outstanding, overseeing the phaidon mess.maybe sale re do some of estate given the new circumstances. etc. I 've responded to every brad question , given him first lessons , not a good use of my time or his. he should administrate, follow up, have signing authority instead of eileen, ( AFTER rationalized accounts ). holding a position of trust. ONLY
talk whenever you like, NO STRESS , Mort had a skiing accident and sultan not fully comp es mentes. no stress please for either of us . both of our reserves which are not insubstantial , can use a break
