But how different is the new management from the old?

Mr. Lazaridis is now the new vice-chair, who according to the committee’s report, “will provide strategic counsel and advice to the chief executive officer as may be determined from time to time by the board and vice-chair…”
Meanwhile, Mr. Balsillie sits on the board as a director.

How many CEOs have ever successfully made the transition from hands’ on operator to hands off director, especially a co-founder?

Also consider that Mr. Heins has said repeatedly he is staying the course set out by his predecessors.
