He's not an easy guy to work for. He has very high expectations of his staff and he can be rude and too direct. Sensitivity is not his strong point. He often puts you on the spot, "What makes you think this will work?""Have you thought about the cost of this?" and so on. You have to be prepared to justify your actions a lot. Some people can't stand being challenged like this all the time, but you can't deny that he gets the most out of his staff. People do perform. There are people who listen to what you are saying, and people who hear what you are saying. Paul is one of the former. He does try to listen to other people's ideas, but his mind has often moved onto the next thing, and he doesn't take on board what you're saying. It's the same thing when he's expressing his own ideas and wishes. He kind of takes it for granted that everyone has reached the same point in their thinking that he has, when often they're still two or three steps behind. Don't get me wrong, he's a very nice guy, kind and clever, and he has lots of great ideas and vision for the company, but because of these communication difficulties, he can be very frustrating to work for. The financial rewards in our company are not so huge, but in spite of that, in my team we all stay very motivated because our boss really appreciates our work. She's actually very protective of her own people. She gives us a lot of praise. Other people in the company say she's a maverick, a kind of a loner. They say she's difficult to get on with and doesn't really have the company's interests at heart. But I wouldn't know about that really, because it's not the side of her that we see. What we get is 100% loyalty and encouragement.
