While I think I understand the short tenure of the General Manager position at IBM Lotus (it is, after all, a very large organization and this can be considered somewhat "normal"), FUDWatch has their own view of the "revolving door" at the top of IBM Lotus.

I'll never understand it. I could have a dozen top men from Big Blue explain it to me for hours on end, and I still won't completely get why IBM keeps shuffling people in and out of Lotus Software's general manager position. I know IBM stands for "I've Been Moved" and that executive shuffling is the norm for the company. But for crucial leadership positions, there needs to be some stability.
And yet, IBM continues its predictable pattern of rotating executives in and out of Lotus after a couple of years. Just this week at Lotusphere 2010, IBM annoited a new head of Lotus, the fifth general manager in less than 10 years, causing Lotus to become a rudderless subsidiary with no true identity or direction. It's gone on for the last decade, and it's gone on long enough.
