Dak ga xtrawh billi zammewlu Xarabank u bil-mannara fuq rasu jekk ma jaghmilx dak li jghidulu. Lecca culo iehor.

Well, there you go then: John Bundy has a dreadfully weak character.

Like Franco Debono, he is convinced that corruption and incompetence are traits belonging exclusively to others.

Helga Ellul studied business management or something along those lines, but her best quality is her strong character.
I have seen qualified CEOs failing miserably.

In my experience, managers who were appointed without experience ‘failed’ miserably.

I heard him say once he hated mathematics at school. To some extent, and at some point we all did, but how many of us go ahead and accept CEO appointments?

The CEOs main responsibility is to foresee that the company’s financial situation will always be in order, also meaning checking his Accountant, reviewing his financial conclusions, forecasts, strategies, to certify that his company’s financial responsibilities are in order. He’ll be the man signing for everything. The CEO of PBS has nothing to do with Eurovision crap.

Having an Accountant and the staff with you is not enough. He’s responsible for everything and you need to have a certain level of expertise to be able to successfully handle all this. This is serious.

Has he thrown a tantrum yet?

A manager and a chief executive officer are not the same thing. Helga Ellul did not move straight from the factory floor, making little plastic men, to running Brand.

“What qualifications did other (PBS) CEOs have?” you ask. Well, EXACTLY – they had none, which is just how the public service broadcaster has ended up in such a desperate mess, both financially and in terms of broadcast content and news provision.

It’s an effing disaster. The only people who watch Maltese television are those who have no choice because they don’t speak English or Italian.
