Coming in at number five in getting to know Ethan is that he is a control freak. There is nothing and we mean nothing that Ethan won’t stick his nose in. Maybe that’s a good thing in a CEO, except he will never tell you what he wants (because he really does not have a clue), so there is always a great deal of guessing going on. This wastes time and resources as people attempt to make him happy.
Do you run a program that is successful? Don’t think that will prevent this control freak from wanting to put his special “Ethan stamp of approval” on it. The first place he starts is the approval process for purchase orders. Expect delays and many questions about every single purchase order you request. He will then move on to the budget for the program, cutting without asking or understanding the requirements. Finally, he will remove you for not cooperating with him. Give it about two years and as your program starts to fail Ethan will return to the way it was before he messed with it.
What we have never gotten is why Ethan can’t focus on what is NOT working. Could it be adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder?
