Certainly does.

I think he does and he's certainly a very good presenter. All I spoke too at the N.Z. shareholders association after his presentation there were impressed with him, as was I.
His focus is on providing the very best standards of care for residents...which is fabulous. Julian Cook has a harder commercial edge to him that as a shareholder I strongly prefer.

No. They threw the mold away after making the Don.

Hmm..what like the Boeing CEO! lol

The future is what is important and that is determined by the demand for the product or service and the ability of the directors and management. The future demand appears to be almost certain but the jury is still out on the ability side. Straight talking is a good indication. Charisma not so important. Charisma can hide a heap of incompetence and often does.

My friend had just read a paper (god bless his soul) that concluded ‘Our findings suggest that more extraverted CEOs may actually be less effective at managing risk and creating value than their more introverted counterparts.’

Spose a lot depends on how one defines extraverts and introverts but a Earl v Julian study could be interesting.

I always found that interviewing people for engineering and factory production positions was difficult because the people that could talk well and present themselves well were often relying on those skills to get them through life and the important skills ie the skills we were looking for were often lacking. A friend of mine in Human Resources for an international company said that her experience in hiring people was that no matter how hard she tried it really amounted to the toss of a dice.

Two people who have influenced me, have both had the ability to explain very complex things in very simple terms.
One was co-founder of Jade, the other was CEO of NZIERinc.
I think very successful CEOs,Don Baird of Mainfreight,Mark Waller at Ebos,and others,have the same abilities.Know the direction their business should go,and get all of their staff onboard and go for it."Ready,Fire,Aim".

Yes if you can explain complex things in simple terms you really know your stuff.
