You Did The Best You Could
Andy Rendich. CEO of Qwikster for about a week. You didn’t ask for the media frenzy. You just woke up and came into the office one morning to find out your boss had gone insane. But instead of walking away, as a lesser man might do, you took one for the team. You put your name on that disaster-in-progress and told the world… well, nothing really, because you didn’t even have time to figure out a business plan. But you were gonna do it, pal. You were gonna bring the heat. It was your moment to shine.
And today, you’re just back to the old office, because Qwikster is no more.
Andy, it’s not your fault, okay? You’re like this refurbished Lenovo Intel Dual-Core Laptop with 15.6” LED Display. It’s got a sweet 2.13GHz processor, and 2GB of DDR3 memory, and a 320GB hard drive, plus Window 7 Home Premium, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, and a 15.6” widescreen LED display. It’s ready to work, and work hard. But nobody gives it a chance, do they? Just like you, man. Just like you.
But don’t you worry, Andy Rendich. Now your name is out there. Maybe not as out there as a Reed Hastings email, but out there nonetheless. When you go to your next job interview (probably on Tuesday if you’re smart) people are going to say “Rendich? Aren’t you that guy who almost ran Qwikster?” And when you say yes, they’ll shake their head, and maybe even give you a big hug.
Because you’re every kid who was open but didn’t get the ball. You’re every musician who had the chops but couldn’t get airplay. You’re Brando in On The Waterfront, you’re Dave Mustaine, you’re Takeru Kobayashi being dragged away by the cops just before the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. You were there and ready and wanted to go, but someone else took your moment before you could prove yourself.
That dream is gone now, Andy Rendich, but it’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself. Don’t blame yourself.
