Overpriced products made overseas while trading on British heritage. Sounds about right to me. Twisted Evil

Judging by one of his corporate mugshots, his time at Dyson has taken a toll:

I think the reasons he left where expressed quite forcefully by Thierry Bollore in a recent interview:

"Improving quality and reliability

“This is the first pillar of Refocus, our transformation plan. Our results have been unacceptable, but we know how to fix them. It’s not science, just hard work. Already, the 2021 results are better, but we have more to do. We now have a member of the board responsible for the whole value chain, which makes a big difference.”

Having ‘someone else responsible for the whole value chain…….,

Isn’t that a polite way for Bollore to say if it all goes wrong it’s not his fault and that he has someone to blame and sack… Rolling Eyes

There's an interesting quote from him in the article:

"I delegate as much as possible. I don’t like to do the work of my team-mates.”

Great quote, Supacat Thumbs Up

Well I hope he enjoys sitting on top of his house of cards.

You can keep blaming your minions and sacking them but delegation does not absolve his responsibility.

Nice article SN. Sums up the corporate merry-go-round.

What could be added is prepare three envelopes and welcome an enormous severance payment into your bank account?
