The Qantas Culture
Joyce is an outsider.
He has no support group or friends in Qantas(apart from Dixon)
There will be those who will seek to undermine him.
Joyce will be fighting battles on may fronts.
The resentment in Qantas may well make him a lame duck CEO.
A general is impotent without the support of his troops.
Making Joyce the CEO may awaken the sleeping giant of employee unity and fill it with a resolve Joyce may well find impossible to resist.
Strap in...its going to be an even bumpier ride
