hasta la vista Alfonso

its about time

 

another Bill casualty. Alfonso was terrific he will be missed.

 

There was too much he didnt know and even more he couldnt find out.

 

seriously? What did he bring to the table?

 

Nothing. He was a bureaucrat instead of a business leader. He belonged anywhere that had little to do with sales and marketing. Worst of all he cared more about himself than he did about his team or the business. Good move GSK

 

Good riddance! Been horrible to his subordinates and good only to his bosses, the worst kind of a leader. Alf was overmatched for his job and added NOTHING during his stay. Couldn't help himself, though, as he was clueless about derm biz from day one. Bill should have never made him the head of US. Hey, GSK - what a waste of valuable resources & $, allowing a corporate leach like Alf to get a Havard MBA and walk away at the same time.

Saludos

 

He added perspective on important topics. I will miss his insights

 

Yeah, valuable insights like what food to order during business dinners.

 

Maybe GSK will get even wiser and give Alfonso's immediate subordinates (MD and DB) their walking papers too!

 

then please provide me with your perspective on who the strong Stiefel leaders are. Please tell us.

 

Michelle B, Pascal W, Mike H, Steve G and Greg B. The rest are no mas, not a reference to alfonso)

 

Michelle B is no leader. She's the reason the Soriatane audit was so bad. She cost Bill and Alfonso their jobs. MD and DB are probably next. Deirdre is starting at the top.

 

That's our challenge - we are more concerned with an audit versus progressing our business and people. Things have changed but we should not misplace our priorities

 

A shame but DB is a goof

 

MB is horrible, really silly non strategic leader, clueless. Agree the others are good and can help resolve the challenges

 

No kidding! Being in a leadership position at Stiefel cant be good right now. This was only a matter of time.

Any predictions on who's next?

 

agree MD is a joke. GC and DT are great leaders though

 

I heard that Alfonso's replacement had his first day in RTP today! An announcement to follow soon...

 

Agree, he was not nice to subordinates and was unprofessional in talking about people behind their backs. How do you say karma in espanol?

 

I thought he was great. Way smarter then "dopey Bill"
Alfonso, I wish you the very best!!
