"Who's going to head the field offices?"

"I'll have to consult with Mr. X and Mr. Y and get back to you on that."

Mr. I-can't-make-a-decision is going to meet with Mr. Won't-exhibit-any-leadership and Mr. Absentee-head-management.

Meanwhile, in the trenches, we wait for the question, "Why haven't you done this? They're waiting for the information."

I just love this time of year!
