I'm not throwing mud. I'm talking about what I think is a fundamental shift (affecting politics, companies, and society in general) to direct comms and actions which show integrity with stakeholders, rather than the corporately structured ones which have been taught in management schools around the world for decades. Its "speed of trust" stuff - and simply because I hold DRO shares (but have sold down, having held for four years, because I too, have been unimpressed by what I've read - I haven't commented, but I have read your comments and adjusted my shareholdings) I would prefer to see DRO make positive changes in this area, and derisk the company through a better approach and resultant comms.
Why? Because reduction of risk/distrust, stops share price discounting. Trust increases the share price.
Anyone who doesn't want that here, is a shorter, and that's not a game I play.
I try to be constructive as often as possible, as, if I'm holding a share (even on a reduced basis as DRO now is, and I'm now contemplating if I should reduce to zero btw) its because I'd like to see the share price go up. This is actually one of those times. Again, I'm not sledging - I'm outlining a basis for a change in approach, that I think would lead to shareholder gains - and on the off chance that DRO reads HC, or people who know DRO mgmt do, they can get in their ear, and maybe change weakness into a strength.
This means, I'm not
ramping either - I'm just trying to see whats good and bad about the company, and see if its bad, how they could change it, and if its good, how they could better acknowledge it. Putting your own skin in the game as management, rather than getting freebies, is a very simple and clear way, to acknowledge it.
Mgmt do put in the hard yards day to day. Shareholders and other stakeholders can be free intellectual capital - a source of ideas - for them - they can show them - for free, or actually paying for the priviledge! - how to innovate, address weaknesses, improve on strengths, etc - so through solid use of the shareholder base, they can actually get better outcomes and actions and reduce "consultants" fees.
