Timid MD 6

After the sadist left an in-house person was selected as the MD. He was a very timid person. He was afraid to take any bold decision. In the name of building consensus he used to conduct meetings and act as decided in the meeting. He was in the habit of quoting proverbs and never told any thing directly. But inspite of all these deficiancies company progressed and we managed to get some export orders. He had some personal problems which affected his decision making.
After completing his first term he managed to get a second term of five years. In the second spell he sorrounded himself with people who gave him wrong advice. He had to resign after two years. I had left the company soon after he got his second term. I learnt that during the wage negotiations with the Workers Union he was wrongly advised to agree for all their demands for the sake of harmonious relations with the Union which bankrpted the organisation. Financially company was finished and he left the Organistion a disillusioned man.
