It's all about people management and the ability to influence outcomes, in summary leadership.
If someone could explain to Roberts how much easier it would be for him if he could of been seen as leading from the front and saving Arrium. By taking a pay cut, dealing with Unions, workers, contractors, suppliers and lenders by looking them in the eye and telling them it's a team effort and we're all going to feel the pain his reputation and remuneration value in the corporate world would have soared along with the respect that goes with it.
Known as a mr fix it and tough negotiator with integrity he would have more than made up for any short term cut in pay down the track, also making Plummer and Smedley appear like amateurs.
Too late now but he fkd up a great opportunity, the careers of he and rest of the team are destroyed due to their ignorance, arrogance, stupidity, cowardice and self interest.
