Hans is setting up a new leadership at VZ

It appears that Hans is making some significant changes to the VZ leadership. It doesn't come as a surprise to me, taking into account that now is a critical time for the company as we await the deployment of 5G, and want to secure our place on the market as leaders. What worries me in this situation is that these changes in C-suite management are often followed by further changes and reorgs on lower levels. If we count in Hans’s premise that VZ needs to be made more efficient and less costly, I’d say there is a big possibility we will be seeing more restructuring after the buyout/Infosys situation settles down.

Wow, that has to be the worst written article I have seen in a while. Does he have a point, or is he being too quiet for his own good?

Do you think our executives are real executives? Most of our executives can not talk for 5 min about company business goals and objectives. They just went up in the ladder with old friends.

Most of the groups are self managing and you can have a monkey run the show there. The question is do you need so many execs.

OP a bit old news but appreciate the post anyway.

I think this is expected, there is a lot of entrenched interest at the C-level and every legacy leader is a potential threat to Hans - he'll need to remove them to feel safe and be able to direct things as he wants.

From the ethics standpoint this is bad, nonetheless, in a pure Machiavellian play, this is just what is expected.
