Ann: MD & CEO, page-145

Well not only that, she tried to insult investors intelligence by stating that her Aus Open commitments were good for the company as she met different people who she could then influence about the virtues of A2M! I never bought that line.

She wanted balance everywhere, in her personal life, finances and career. Not many successful CEO's can do that and will eventually make a choice to sacrifice at least one or 2 of those aspects of life. A true leader will lead from the front and make sacrifices for the company, like not selling her shares when she knows it will be detrimental to the company and shareholders, even though she may have needed the money or was entitled to sell the shares. She won't be bragging about leaving early to pick up the kids knowing most men/women don't have that option at her workplace. Anyway don't mean to get too personal here, but it appears the general vibe she gave off was not becoming of a CEO of a publicly listed company, despite any brilliance in strategy formulation.
