Cons
The CEO’s engagement with the Sydney head office has been notably limited, despite frequent travel to the city for business purposes. While accommodations are consistently in five-star hotels and dining choices reflect a preference for high-end restaurants, there is little visible effort to connect with the local team or participate in the day-to-day operations of the office. On the rare occasions he has visited the head office, interaction has been minimal. Time is typically spent isolated in a private office, with little attempt to engage staff or build rapport. This lack of presence has contributed to a perception of disconnect between leadership and employees, further reinforced by the fact that he appears unfamiliar with team members, including not knowing staff names. Additionally, there has been a noticeable lack of continuity in executive support. The turnover of three executive assistants within a single year raises concerns, particularly given that the most recent departure cited the difficulty of working with him as a primary reason. Overall, while there is a clear investment in travel and external business engagements, there is a significant opportunity for improvement in internal leadership visibility, relationship-building, and team connection within the Sydney office.
