追踪：惠普临时CEO韦曼致全体员工的一封信

　　真是想象不到，在我们华人欢度农历春节的时候竟有如此之大的业界新闻发生！

　　美国东部时间2月9日上午9时左右，惠普董事会宣布该公司原主席兼首席执行官卡莉.菲奥莉娜已辞去公司主席和首席执行官职务，辞职立即生效。同时，董事会也已任命公司首席财务官罗伯特.韦曼为过渡时期的首席执行官，并任命帕特里西亚.邓恩为董事会非执行主席，这两项任命也立即生效。

　　透过一位在台湾惠普效力的业界朋友，长剑得到了下面这封由惠普临时CEO罗伯特.韦曼致全体员工的电子邮件。

　　To: All HP Employees

　　From: Bob Wayman

　　Re: Carly Fiorina Steps Down as Chairman,CEO

　　The HP Board of Directors announced this morning that Carly Fiorina has stepped down as Chairman and CEO, effective immediately.

　　On behalf of the Board and the management team, I want to thank Carly for all she has contributed to HP. In her six years as CEO, Carly has revitalized the company. She had a strategic vision that has given HP the capabilities to compete and win. Through her leadership and vision, HP has laid a solid foundation for success in the marketplace.

　　With Carly's departure, the Board has asked that I serve as interim CEO in addition to my current role as CFO. Patricia Dunn, an HP director since 1998, has been named Non-Executive Chairman of the Board. The search for a new CEO will begin immediately.

　　I look forward to stepping into the role of CEO and leading HP through the next few months. I will be focused on accelerating our execution against our established strategy until a new CEO is named. We continue to believe we have the right ingredients for success. With all the members of the Executive Council, I'm focused on driving improved performance and consistency of operations. I'm proud of the people of this company and all we've achieved together. There's more work to be done, but I believe we have a dedicated team focused on executing our strategy and meeting customer needs.

　　I have great confidence in our ability to execute the strategies and plans we have put in place. HP will report its first quarter results next week, and I look forward to giving you an update on our performance, which we expect to be in line with consensus analyst expectations (after adjusting for the effects of the previously announced Intergraph settlement).

　　I'd like to ask your support in helping me and other members of the management team move forward as a cohesive team -- dedicated to delivering on our commitments to our customers, to you our employees and to our shareowners.

　　Thank you for your continued focus.

　　Bob [Wayman]

　　在这封内部邮件中，罗伯特.韦曼将卡莉.菲奥莉娜的离去描述为“辞职”，同时，还礼节性的对于她在位6年间所做出的“贡献”致以“诚挚谢意”。

　　在谈到自己的职责时，罗伯特.韦曼认为“首席执行官”将是一个临时的职位，他将努力配合管理层管理好惠普公司直至一个合适的人选出现，至于“临时CEO”的期限，似乎是几个月左右。

　　罗伯特.韦曼在邮件中还着重提到惠普将于下周发布第一季财报，这是否与卡莉.菲奥莉娜的离去有所关联？

　　有趣的是，与罗伯特.韦曼的客气有加大相径庭的是，相当之多的惠普员工对于卡莉.菲奥莉娜的离去拍手称快，至少，提供上述内部邮件的那位台湾惠普的朋友就非常愉快的告诉长剑，“她早该走人了，你们如果见过她每次来台拜访客户时的那副样子，你们就知道什么叫女沙皇再世了！”
