It would be a big understatement to say that I am not a fan of organizational restructuring where reductions in people are required. When leaders have to let people go, we often help them to make those difficult decisions. Worse, we are often the witness during the outplacement meeting with the employee.

Maintaining the status quo – rigidly following often outdated policies and procedures – is also not my favourite job. I prefer to deal with loads of change and ambiguity, while delivering fresh approaches and ideas.
