Hey, Ken. . . I need to talk to you.
Sure. . . what's up?
Can we step into the conference room? This is a more private conversation.
Sure. . .
Ok. . . I'm just going to lay it all out on the table, What do you think of Vincent's management style?
Well, Vincent has only been CEO for a couple of years and. . . well. . . um. . .
I don't want to put you on the spot. Here's what I'm getting at, I don't think Vincent is the man for the job.
Really? And what led you to this conclusion?
As I see it, he lacks the proper vision. His style is more about survival, and he's not taking the company anywhere. He's treading water instead of swimming.
Well, I confess I've had my doubts about his abilities before. It seems he mainly got the job because his famous aunt pulled some strings.
I've been with this firm for 26 years and I'd hate to see it go down the drain due to poor leadership skills.
Me too. But what can we do? This isn't a reality TV show. . . we can't just vote him out.
Yes and no. . . We can't ask for a show of hands on who thinks he should be fired, but we can introduce a vote of no confidence at the next board meeting.
Interesting idea. You might be on to something.
