		Always Joe, never Joseph, Forehand is shorthand; that is, Accenture's CEO prefers none of the longhand protocol or divine detachment his predecessor was known for.
		Indeed, Forehand's thought gains support when you consider that one of the more strident examples in recent memory of a business falling victim to values erosion involves a partnership Arthur Andersen.
