Mechanism: Begin with the End in Mind* We had started a new practice. Now, I wanted to build on the success of that practice. I decided that one key supervisor a day, rotating among the XO, COB, Weps, Nav, Eng, and Suppo, would have an hour-long mentoring session with me. The rule for the mentoring meeting was that we could talk only about long-term issues, and primarily people issues. All business concerning a leaking valve or failed circuit card had to occur outside these meetings.

Finally, I turned to deconstructing each of the accusations by Sumner Redstone over what he called the “abusive monopoly power wielded by TCI.” Redstone had complained that TCI’s Encore movie channel had tried to lock up rights to movies with several studios, for example, by intentionally overpaying $1 billion in deals, depriving Viacom’s own Showtime and The Movie Channel of a flow of films. As I pointed out: “Obviously, Mr. Redstone’s complaints are nothing more than sour grapes from a losing bidder. If Liberty paid too high a price, the only party that will be injured is Liberty.”
