Is Cathie Black a visionary? A DaVinci or an O'Keefe? An Edison or an Einstein? I don't believe she is. Why does Bloomberg insist upon using superlatives to describe such a banal unimpressive person like Cathie Black? Because he can. Does calling her one make her one? No?
Cathie Black may be an enthusiatic person who has demonstrated a devotion to her many professional accomplishments, but a visionary? I don't see where that label fits.
Fabulous Mona... really fantastic job :)
