NZR CEO Resignation & Replacement
-
Frankly, don't think he was as bad as made put, but I think we can do better.
Cast the net world wide I reckon.

Not helped by the board, but not particularly good I didn't think.
Good luck to the replacement - lots to juggle and lots of work needed

Should we lob in an application?
A rotating panel of 7 Ferners voting by majority after taking input from the wider group.
The panel of 7 can be adjusted every year based on the results of the Fernies.
What could go wrong?

@Virgil going missing and not finishing off the voting?

Not built for the role and seems to have been taken for a ride by the private finance crowd.
Let's '(try to) get a professional in who can sort out the mess we are in.@gt12 said in NZR CEO Mark Robinson Resigns:

Is this still about Virgil?

Let's face it, we just await the nest appointment, so we can say how hopeless he is and we all could/would do better. Never saw any any positive posts about Tew before Robertson came along.
It's kind of natural on forums, same with RA, when the last CEO was there, he was hopeless etc, and then when Phil Waugh came into job, he's seen as a NSW lapdog etc.
I think we all have to remember the CEOs really only do boards' bidding, and don't actually have a huge inflence. -
My lasting impression is that he was a guy who never seemed quite in control, he never seemed to quite get buy-in for his ideas and the problems that were forced upon him never seemed to result in a unianimous conclusion.
Sure there were some real tricky pieces of work there but he never seemed to be able to get everyone moving in the same direction, any decision seemed marred by a lot of in-fighting.

It's always hard to replace someone who's been good in their role and live up to those expectations.

I think we all have to remember the CEOs really only do boards' bidding, and don't actually have a huge inflence.It's human nature. People think they can do someone else's job better. You see it in all walks of life.
I am the same. It's amazing how good I would be.

TBH, I really don't think we can get an accurate gauge of how good he is compared with say Tew, because Tew didn't go through Covid, the Saffas throwing their toys out of the cot (anyone who blames anyone other than the Saffas for going norf is an idiot), Tew was in charge of the ABs when the Foster decision was made (so he may not have sacked him either).
I don't think Robinson did a great job, but I don't know if anyone could at that time.
I think I'd be an ok CEO but I'd never take the job (one of my minions is now CEO of a former place I worked, my genius is identifying talent
) I much rather just sitting under the CEO, out of the politics (I have little patience for owners and board members who don't know their business), and (mostly) getting the job done. -

Tew never replaced Hobbs. Hobbs was chairman, Tew was CEO and had the role originally while Hobbs was chairman (I think)

Frankly, don't think he was as bad as made put, but I think we can do better.
Cast the net world wide I reckon.

I don't want net cast worldwide. I admit to being really uncomfortable with Chairman (David Kirk) living in Aus. I really prefer someone who has feel for the game in NZ. I don't know what qualifications any of the present board have , but genuinely think we need someone with knowledge of our game, and our rugby boards etc.
