He's certainly not a team player, but he does seem a bit more capable than Syed. Syed was talentless.

Have to say that Jadine grew on me this week. Wasn't too keen last week. She's still obsessed about the branding/logo thing though. I think she gets a little too distracted by it. It's very odd.

I'm not liking the boys' team at the moment. They don't seem to have a team player amongst them, and they're very quick to criticise the team leader (without volunteering themselves). |

He is a very good salesman - can just imagine him cold calling and closing sales. |

If I was Rory I would have brought up Tre's altercations with Jadine last week- he cant't respect a team leader. I would have got Jadine back me up on this. Managers who talk to the team like children and start with the list of foibles and diktats deserve all they damn well get. Lets see what happens when a manager talks to the team like adults from the outset and gives them a chance to come to their own equilibrium. Put Tre with someone or a small group he can work with asap and out of your hair if you can't manage him. Let him balls things up all on his own without diverting your energy too. Remember what happened to Karen last year when she was trying to calm and manage the mad brummy woman Project manager, Karen wasted energy and got fired. Tre had a point about the focus group, instead of asking how it was going and at least getting an idea they waited, until it was $hit or bust. Info was useless by then. |

I was very impressed with Katie tonight. It makes such a difference when someone can smile & offer encouragement.

He wasn't completely talentless was he. As Siralan said he had flashes of brilliance but they were to few and fair between and outweighed by his arrogance. |

Im not warming to Tre at all. Agree with AS assistants, he is argumentative and a trouble maker and irritating.
I didnt like the fact that he refused to shake hands with Rory afterwards. He makes it personal. |

I did feel a bit sorry for Rory in the end. He seemed like a broken man. Like he was just about ready to burst into tears any second.

I didnt like the fact that he refused to shake hands with Rory afterwards. He makes it personal. Rory was a nice bloke at heart, I think, but classic beta-male trying to hack it in an alpha-male position and failing miserably. As someone's right-hand-man, he'd probably be fine, but he's not a leader. Probably got bullied at school. |

I really like Jadine. She's probably my favourite right now. She seems to know what she's doing and proved herself to be quite capable at leading the team last week. |
