Fixing Heartware?

Criticizing NN’s performance does not make someone a racist. Sorry, but irrespective of color, gender, religion, etc…if someone is not engaged with solving the issues the business is facing, he is a poor leader. I like that he was engaged with ADN, but would have settled if he was equally engaged in running the business he was supposed to lead. He was a poor leader for us. Period.

He has consistent track record and performance. Team is spelled “I” in NN’s world. A lot of great people are going to loose their jobs, but they’ll find a place to put this bad leader.

Did you work in Pelvic? Perhaps not bc you comment suggests that you dont have all the facts especially about the scope of the situation in Pelvic Health.

I did work in pelvic health when he was put in charge. I have all the facts and was there. The business finally started to recover when he left to go destroy another business and we replaced him with someone that was engaged, provided leadership and showed up. At least he is consistent.

He was at Pelvic Health when they bought NURO tibial and failed that product launch and therapy. So, yes, consistent performance.

Transplant market is a small community of docs. You need to commit. Abbotts had some people in role for 20 years and they’ve got credible docs. NN just treated MCS like a P/L problem and now he’s just managing to his shutdown target leaving us to mop up and find new jobs ourselves.

outline what you are doing to drive business success- growth, revenue etc. No fluff. Hard facts. Its really easy to judge and hid behind racism but most people with such negative comments are NOT rockstars either.

-Oh no. What do I do when someone is calling out the merits of business performance? I know, start calling everyone racist. That will redirect the conversation off topic, and focus on something controversial. Wait, I need to say white man and/or boy, top with a ‘you probably voted for trump’ comment & double down on ADN/end strong with racist comment.-

NN will get a soft landing. Geoff will say what a great job he did making the right decisions and being mission focused. He will place NN in another great role so he can focus all of his time on his ERG work and no time on delivering business results. Rinse and repeat.

This. For sure he’ll get a high profile ethics award, maybe get some external press exposure to talk about his leadership…. Then on to bigger and better things to destroy.

For someone who preaches accountability and holding feet to the fire, Geoff is quite a pushover when it comes to his own buddies

Geoff had a few key diverse leaders leave after the org change last summer - he can’t afford to hold NN accountable to performance and the inevitable consequence, his numbers are already going the wrong direction.

Those with ability leave for greater impact, those with fear stay and please their bosses and play politics --- and accomplish nothing.

Wrong direction? Non existent is more accurate. As a leader you are responsible for the investment decisions to grow, fix, and deliver result for a business. There have been problems for years that NN inherited, but he did not make any decisions to fix.

Complex products are not a core competency for Medtronic.

BS - Medtronic makes lots of complicated stuff. This was about leadership, a failure of leadership and failure to get invested in the business. NN is too transactional to ever really care about LVADS or the customers or patients.

Well let us see if NN is held accountable which would support your view? If not, then complicated products too hard for Medtronic. NN has been deemed a great leader by the organization and CEO.

Maybe they will put him in charge of the patient maintenance team so he can spend the next 5 years doing nothing that causes more harm to any other business.
