A Director for a little over 5 years, George had developed quite a reputation in the company. Known for being visionary, and for being the smartest guy in the room, George was able to find success by working his people hard to achieve results and micromanaging every step of their processes. Turnover in George’s group was twice as high as other departments. Talented people routinely asked to move out of his area rand it was getting harder to recruit people from outside the company, because word was on the streets. George has been issued an ultimatum: Stop the hemorrhage of talent out of his group.
