After product delays, multi-continent unexplained service outages and lackluster offerings, questions as to how and why RIM's co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie still have jobs reached a fevered pitch over the last few months. Confirming recent rumors, a report in the Wall Street Journal claims both Lazaridis and Balsillie will officially be giving up their positions to new CEO Thorsten Heins. Many are lamenting the shake up as having not shaken hard enough to truly disrupt a corporate culture that has resulted in plummeting company fortunes. A new introductory video of Heins suffers from a lot of the same problems RIM has exhibited in recent months -- namely the delusion that continuing down the same path RIM is already on will result in fortune and glory.
