anticipation

at my place of employment, there has been a search process going on for my once and future boss' successor as our senior vice president for the past several months. today was the last interview for the last candidate in the final round. after this point it's going to be a waiting game to see who our ceo selects. there is one internal candidate. that individual is entirely unsuitable for the role. of course, many of us are worried that he will be the one selected. 

i think if he were selected, it would say more about the condition of the organization than about the quality of the other candidates or the effectiveness of the search process. i know many individuals in our area would question whether they could remain with the organization. as much as i dread the idea, i can't help but think that if the internal candidate is selected, well then sometimes an organization gets what it deserves. it's just too bad so many people will have to suffer as a result.
