SPK- Spark NZ (TELCO)

[arc]

So what happens when the service plan goes wrong...
And you know the marketing department obviously spent a lot of careful time ensuring the company image was always protected...thats when SPARK goes backward... KRAPS

[Major von Tempsky]

Go on Arc, don't let me stop or deter you, you bet against the market :-)

All need to do is to find someone to lend you a heap of TEL shares and then you short sell them. Easy as falling off a log....

Who would you rather have in charge of a large corporation a leader or a lounger. Good on him.....too many fence sitters out there in my opinion. As Fred Dagg said..."get in behind ya mongrel". if ya don't like it fek off.

Good on Moutter. What a pity he apologised.

[Zaphod]

Publically humiliating a staff member in that manner is not a trait of a great leader, it is a sign of weakness. There were far more professional and effective ways available to handle that situation, that would have yielded greater respect for his role & decisions and ultimately better outcomes for the company.

great leaders surround themselves with good people, listen to all ideas then decide on the path to take
it worries me this its my way or the highway approach, I just hope hes got it right

Got it from a reliable source that SPARKS were flyiing everywhere during the discussion which is a good sign for the company aiming to be branded as a different one. But would you not consider that whoever leaked that info to the media, a snake? And that someone is exactly the type of guy needed to be changed by the top echelon for this company to really move forward?

The intent behind Moutters statement is no doubt for the good of the company. If you got a negative bring up with your immediate boss to sort it out rather than whinging to the whole company.

Does branding really matter? My impression is telecoms is a race towards a commodity. If I was investing I'd be looking at the budget end of mobile data market.
