- I don't know much about him to comment alot. Basically, pluck from head office to run the show. He had been in the reign for 5 to 6 years but was unable to prove his worth. Recently, there had been immense rumors that he is ready to pack his bag.
This was supported by witnesses of shredding of documents and moving things away from his office. Reminds me of the Enron case but I think this does not come near. My limited exposure with him tells me that he is basically a likeable person but did not do enough to harness teamwork from his management team, resulting in lack of cohesiveness to deal with operational problems, which of course lead to poor performance and his imminent departure.
BH
In charged of Business Group G. One whom I'm closer to. She is as dedicated a worker that a company can ever get. She puts in at least 12 hours per day for the company and has the company's interest at heart in her daily dealings. She was recruited by the CEO to assist him and was rumored to be a distant relative of the CEO. This was never confirmed as I didn't bothered to ask.
She is known to be a slave-driver but rewards appropriately. Basically, she expects her co-workers to be as dedicated as her. She is also loud, with regard to the way she conduct herself - you can hear her miles away. As a person, a likeable character as well, but only when you are used to her way of things. She can be mean if she does not think highly of you and she does not hide her feelings.
EB
Was in charged of Business Group E. EB was someone whom I've liked before her departure. Her departure was sudden to say the least. During my interaction with her, I've found her to be sincere and easy-going. She departed to join a competitor and the reasons given were rumored to be because she can't take the heat from the auditors who failed her assessment and she couldn't take the rigidness of the system imposed by head office. All those rules and bureaucracy hidden underneath the big term - Corporate Governance.
These did not cause me to dislike her. It was what happened next. Apparently, she pouched several of her closer allies from the company to the competitor and till this day continue to call existing staff to lure them away. She also called the director of the head office (another of the cast) and spreaded bad/untrue information about her successor (BH). All these from one whom I thought to be sincere and easy-going. I should re-examine my assessment skills which failed in this case.
NKOB
Someone who was the head of a small company within the Business Group E. He was 'upgraded' to operate a bigger company when BH was asked to assist CEO for Business Group E with EB's departure. NKOB did not get along with BH because the stlye of leadship differs. I can't comment which style is better but NKOB's style is less open while EB was more above board.
I didn't like NKOB because he is one who throws his weight around especially to staff of lower rank than him. This I was told by some victims. He also tried to influence reporting of financials by making use of his knowledge in the accounting matters. He does not like to engage his co-workers but choose to work in isolation, only engaging when requesting for information. Where strategies are concerned, a close door policy is adopted.
Nosey
He recruited me when he was a senior member in my company. Subsequently, he got promoted to head office and eventually became a director there. He had some bad blood with EB who opposed him in several occassion during Nosey's tenure here. It does not help that Business Group G was not performing well after a few years, owing to downturn in the economy.
