Yueh and Jessica chat in chapter 7 and we're left with a future of Jessica accusing Thufir and Thufir accusing Jessica. 

Jeff goes hard on Yueh again, but in this case in a profound way inspired by the leadership coaching he gets paid the big bucks to do for C-level execs of multi-million dollar companies. 

In fact, this episode like so many others, isn't just about Dune: it's a must listen to anyone interested in business environments, leadership, how to hire the right people, how to start a new position the right way, etc. 

We talk a lot about shortcomings most organizations have in their interviewing and hiring.  How people fail to get increasing "power" and autonomy in their organizations- by failing to create social networks within the org. It's not all about raw talent!

Conclusion: Yueh was a bad hire and should have been fired long ago.

And we want to know- does the audience find this stuff valuable? Are heading in the direct of interest?

Note: Mike is writing these notes not Jeff- he's too humble for that
