“James hung up the phone and leaned back in his seat to collect his thoughts. He quickly racked his brain but couldn’t think of a single issue going on in his area that would warrant the big boss’s attention on a Friday morning. James took a deep breath, then headed up to Stillwater’s office.”
“James had to bite his lip to keep from creating a scene. From day one, James felt as though Hector had no business leading the interdivisional project update meetings. However, since he was hand-selected by Albert Stern, the previous COO, no one dared challenge the decision.”
“The deeply siloed culture, interdivisional politics, and bureaucracy causes a lot of turmoil and will be a tough nut to crack, James thought. Although the idea of tackling the issues his organization was facing intrigued him, he wasn’t sure if he could put even a small dent in the company’s deep-seated culture.”
