Fair points Shed….
But to throw an analogy out there:
A murderer who lets his victims look the other way before he shoots, doesn’t exonerate the crime just because there’s a positive spin on it!!
Ok… not the best analogy but you get my point I hope :)
My problem with LR & I really feel as though I’d given him the benefit of the doubt time and time again, is that he doesn’t make a great CEO, not even a good one.
I think The verbal attacks some have made on LR personally are too far because his poor leadership doesn’t make him a horrible human, just a poor CEO.
I think One of the most critical roles a CEO fills in any company is the PR/face of the company. It’s a critical part of the CEO role to be that consistent confidence inspiring familiar face of the company and I think it’s clear that LR actually doesn’t like the public eye. Watching back some of his interviews with this possibility in mind, I see a different man then I ever have before. Now I see a man who is floundering with the Toral / EUZ branding through his own anxiety for the public eye.
There is nothing more frustrating in business (private or public)than to have a CEO who doesn’t communicate well or at all.
This is where LR has failed the company, the project, the shareholders and staff.
The reality is if you or I were to do 20% of our jobs really well and neglected the other 80%, we wouldn’t be employed for long at all. LR’s CEO role should be held accountable.
I think your comment “it’s a confusing picture at the minute” sums the situation up well and I think as shareholders of a company, we should always have clarity about the direction of a company albeit positive or negative, we should at least have the complete picture and that’s a critical part of the CEO’s role. A CEO we have all employed to perform and is currently not.
:) have a great day all
