run starts now?, page-21

Hi Insomniac

On balance, I have no problem with John Hughes stepping down, and if he has issues on the domestic front, which he gave as the reason for leaving a year earlier than his current contract term, then it is preferable that he exit earlier to avoid that domestic issue from distracting him from the focus that TGA needs.

TGA should not be a difficult company to manage, so the new incumbent should not have a problem. John's great strength is that he appears to be an affable manager who is well liked by the employees, so teamwork within TGA is of a high order, staff turnover is low, et cetera.

John communicates well verbally because his voice projection is good, and he has a good grasp of the issues. James Marshall also communicates well for the same reasons, so he would be a good candidate. Peter Eaton has poorer voice projection (I often have to wind back his part of presentations to pick up exactly what he says), but that aside, he too knows TGA well.

I am actually looking forward to a changing of the guard at TGA.
