She no longer wanted anything to do with him.
Tyrone had dedicated so much to Blakely Group, earning the respect of his employees through hisskills and capabilities. It wasn’t fair for him to be stripped of his recognition due to internal politics andpower plays within the senior ranks.
After ending the call, Tyrone set his phone down on the table, sweeping his gaze over the peoplebefore him. “Let’s continue.”
The chairman was absent due to illness, leaving the vice-chairman in charge of the proceedings.
Harrell wasted no time in laying out his case. “Our CEO and general manager, Tyrone Blakely, hasallowed his personal life and emotional issues to tarnish the company’s image during his tenure. Thishas resulted in a decrease in stock prices and a significant shrink in the company’s market value,shaking the confidence of our shareholders, some of whom have demanded answers.
Furthermore, Tyrone’s mishandling of the branch company’s fire incident led to significant publicbacklash, damaging the company’s public image. The public’s trust in us has been undermined.novelbin
On top of that, despite Theo’s years of dedication and good performance, Tyrone unjustly dismissedhim for personal reasons, a clear abuse of his power and a violation of company rules. As such, Ipropose that Tyrone be relieved of his duties as the CEO and general manager!”
A blanket of silence descended upon the meeting room, and a palpable tension gripped theatmosphere.
The directors exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of how to respond.
Some whispered to each other, while others remained indifferent, choosing silence.
Harrell’s gaze swept across the faces of the board members. “Of course, I cannot deny the significantcontribution that Tyrone has made to the company. But that’s not an excuse for his dereliction of duty.He must be held accountable for the substantial losses he caused the company.
Many of these problems stemmed from his private Life. I think everyone here understands that in thisposition, his words and deeds represent the image of the whole company. Regrettably, he shows nointention of considering the interests of the company. How shall we justify this to the shareholders?”
Someone hesitantly responded, “I’m afraid that changing the president at this time won’t easilyconvince the shareholders.”
“But at the very least, we can demonstrate our stance to the shareholders and provide them with anexplanation. We can’t merely sit idly by and watch as they withdraw their investments,” Harrell repliedimmediately.
“It’s unprofessional to mix one’s private life with work. There was a suggestion to replace the director ofMQ Clothing. However, in an attempt to shield his wife, Tyrone disregarded the company’s bestinterests, proving himself unfit to lead.
As for the fire incident, the sentiments expressed by the netizens online mirror the working class’sperspective. We are an inclusive company, and even though the dead worker made a mistake, weshouldn’t be too aggressive towards his family.”
The director implied that Tyrone’s lack of empathy pushed Julius to take desperate and illegalmeasures.
“I agree. A true leader should possess an open mind, attentively Listen to and consider all sorts ofopinions, and provide us with a satisfactory response. They cannot be obstinate and make decisions
unilaterally. The shareholders and board of directors are the rightful owners of the company. Thepresident must be accountable to both the board of directors and the shareholders.”
“The company has experienced steady growth over the years. I believe the most crucial task is toensure the stability of our current business. There’s no need to hastily pursue new energy projects.”
“I beg to differ. New energy businesses have been a prevailing trend in recent years. Considering thegovernment’s support for such projects, why shouldn’t we move in this direction? Embracing innovationis crucial. Clinging onto old business practices won’t get us far!” said one of the directors in favor ofTyrone’s decision.
“If the new energy industry is as profitable as you claim, it would already be thriving. Why the rush? It’stoo early to make a significant decision without fully weighing the risks involved. We must carefullyconsider the potential consequences of failure. We might survive the mistakes made by our decisions,but our suppliers could face bankruptcy if the plan failed!” argued Harrell.
“As long as the interests of our shareholders are guaranteed, I have no objection to whoever becomesthe president. However, I firmly believe that the change should be made only in the company’s bestinterests, not for someone’s gain.”
“What do you mean?” Harrell questioned.
Observing them quarrel, Tyrone appeared detached from the heated discussion. He assumed arelaxed posture, leaning back in his chair and casually tapping his right hand against the armrest. “I’velistened to all the arguments. Allow me to share a few words.”
