There are an awful lot of ideas in this comment thread but many ideas have been proposed in the past.

Is he an appropriate leader to have it? Will he use it? Well, I hope so, but the first step is a deliberate move to take ownership and end the headlessness

People who are interested in doing things have no control and people who have control are not interested.
