Paul Chan was less than impressive in the Switzer interview.
He seemed subdued and lost for the right words.
He even seemed to struggle explaining what PPL actually does, to the extent that Switzer said he doesn't get it, until between the two of them they eventually worked out an understanding and the penny dropped.
Very disappointing CEO performance.
Switzer was looking for some clarity, but he got scattered diffusion, and a lack of specifics.
Chan could not even provide a specific example, when pressed on the request a couple of times.
It looked like Chan was totally unprepared for the questions asked.
It was frustrating to watch, especially when such a simple and clear explanation could have so easily been provided (with straight forward examples).
If people can't simply understant it, they won't invest in it - it's as simple as that, and you would think a CEO knows this.
You would also think that after all this time, a CEO would understand what is asked for and required during such an interview, and be able to deliver it at will.
