Organisational changes: New IT leadership

' ... She started in October. ... I was in two minds wasn't I because of the money ... and whether I should be doing this. I've never regretted it. We argue..the only problem is that her and I argue a lot. Maybe that's a good thing. It's good to have people..she's used to a very structured approach to things and very disciplined, and I suspect that's probably the way I work basically, you know. If I'm honest about it. She is very opinionated on things as well, ??? a very strong-willed individual, but that's what we needed, so I'm not that bothered about it. It's good for me ???

She did well in terms of organising the team. I liked the way she's done that, she's brought new people in quickly and they seem to be quality people. She has drawn the line and said "Right, we don't want to bring any more people in". ??? She's been very fair, strong on all those type of things. She stands up to the business people well. She is very concerned about Neville, because she thinks that Neville.. Well Neville's not a good listener, he tends to improvise, does things on the spur of the moment, says things to people that could not be achieved, and all this worries the life out of her. So, I think probably her biggest concern is managing Neville. But that's where I've got a role to play. We formed the project steering group which is me, Neville, Jane and Jenny, the four of us, so we're basically directing things and deciding what will be done and what won't be done, the order we tackle the countries in and all that.'
