What is amazing about AJ's performance is how content he seems to be disengaging his staff. JB comes to VA, which probably has as many problems, but quickly engages his staff by showing he has a plan, he is in it for the long haul and he recognises that he cannot deliver without the entire business being behind the plan. AJ is the opposite.

The constant drip-drip of consultants' reports and rounds of redundancies will do nothing to improve morale. AJ needs to deliver his plan, implement it and let the business settle. I was involved in AN in its dying days and the constant rounds of spills and fills moving through the levels of management was a massive distraction and only served to make sure the good people left as soon as they could. I assume the same is now happening at QF.
