[speaker001:] Hey, Ken... I need to talk to you.
[speaker002:] Sure... what's up?
[speaker001:] Can we step into the conference room? This is a more private conversation.
[speaker002:] Sure...
[speaker001:] Ok... I'm just going to lay it all out on the table, What do you think of Vincent's management style?
[speaker002:] Well, Vincent has only been CEO for a couple of years and... well... um...
[speaker001:] I don't want to put you on the spot. Here's what I'm getting at, I don't think Vincent is the man for the job.
[speaker002:] Really? And what led you to this conclusion?
[speaker001:] As I see it, he lacks the proper vision. His style is more about survival, and he's not taking the company anywhere.He 's treading water instead of swimming.
[speaker002:] Well, I confess I've had my doubts about his abilities before. It seems he mainly got the job because his famous aunt pulled some strings.
[speaker001:] I've been with this firm for 26 years and I'd hate to see it go down the drain due to poor leadership skills.
[speaker002:] Me too. But what can we do? This isn't a reality TV show... we can't just vote him out.
[speaker001:] Yes and no... We can't ask for a show of hands on who thinks he should be fired, but we can introduce a vote of no confidence at the next board meeting.
[speaker002:] Interesting idea. You might be on to something.
