I love the Dynasty business model but have learned that fixed costs are important. That reality and the fee structure have mandated the pivot that Shirl and his team have made. Life and geographic responsibilities will cause many of the personnel changes noted in this article. Management 2.0 will be fun to watch.

How about you name some of the ‘12 women as headliners’ somewhere in the article? It is encouraging to see the headline of this article and discouraging see a photo of nameless women. My only assumption now is that they were 12 women in roles not high profile enough to call out. My hope is that’s not true but if so then, why even bother mentioning in headline? I appreciate the likely intent here but the execution fell flat.
