Hanson

Hanson’s got the boot from their old neighborhood for starting the same thing, it didn’t work out well as they were at fault to begin with. If this is starting again in Warsaw Zimmers name is about to get dragged through some deep mud. What are they thinking?
 




5 year Scoreboard:

ZBH goes from 131.4 to 153.71 - 17%
SYK goes from 114.9 to 268.01 - 153%

Hanson reign is not creating any shareholder value. Not really sure why the board is keeping him around. The scoreboard tells the story. #notwinning #wherearewegoing #morebracelets

We’ll said, chop his head.

Nailed it. Cutting through all the smoke and mirrors.

BH and crew continuing to tout a lot of ‘activity’ but with zero accomplishments.

Even worse after today - this kind of growth in sales and you would have been on a performance plan a long time ago. Probably one of the worst earnings calls I've every listened to and, given the activity, the street agrees...
 




How do you know the CEO isn't driving the ship? When he hands the mike to the CFO to address M&A questions on the earrings call.

BH, do the right thing and move on. "Spending more time with your family" will be good for all of us.
 








It’s clear that we need someone else to do the talking during the earnings call. That last one was painful and the analysts agree.
More importantly we need someone else to lead the organization between the earnings calls... The whirlwind medal/mission ceremonies didn't work... The Ivan experiment isn't working (yelling louder, humiliating people in meetings, constant threats of the shutting down the business and firing everyone, and "flamagram" emails don't work and aren't motivating). Pure lack of leadership, vision, and direction from the top. Creation of shareholder value is the ultimate scoreboard for senior leadership and we are losing and being let down. Great products but an overall lack of vision and consistent leadership. Really sad.

It’s clear he serves his wife better as her photographer for her Instagram page than as the head of our company.
 




Love to read how the Hanson haters in redneck Warsaw come to this place to voice their hate. You all got fired because of why you did and Hanson came to solve the problems that YOU all created. You destroyed a great company with your buddy Dvorak and all of you should be in jail for what you did. Let competent people work now. Brian has the highest satisfaction scores in the history of the company and you losers (all three of you) insulting him and his wife is not going to change so. He just got promoted to Chairman and got a raise. How is your gig at “consulting.com” going? Wives happy working late night at Walmart?

grab another shot of liquor, kick the dog, and reply. Yup. All of us are wrong except you three.

This is funny - I agree that wives, families, dogs, and/or cats really don't matter in job performance. Your post is as bad as the person commenting on Hanson's wife and personal situation and lacks any substance or fact.

Being a good CEO isn't a popularity contest measured in Gallup scores it's about creating a vision for the company and increasing shareholder value. Even if you believe that he's a visionary (which is debatable) and/or it's a great place to work (company ran Gallup survey) you can't argue his vision and direction has led to a terrible performance creating shareholder value (the street doesn't get it wrong over a 5 year period) both relative to the med-tech market and peer group. Also, if you've been in 3+ meetings with Ivan I would really challenge your take on the culture. From a corporate perspective, it's not super uncommon that the CEO is also the Chairman of the Board to simplify and streamline operations. Most times this isn't a great thing from the long term perspective due to the lack of separation of "church and state". Dvorak wasn't the most dynamic leader and doesn't have the stage presence of BH but I liked the corporate culture and performance of my ZB/ZBH shares and options a heck of a lot better under his reign than the last 5 years.
For the record -- Still work here and really believe in the products, people, and customers we serve... Didn't have a shot or kick the dog but I did drink a beer... Feel free to sling some additional personal insults or correct my grammar in your response...

You dont work here. Impossible someone this dumb does. Check your iphone dude and look at the value of ZBH for the Hanson years versus your cousin Dave. Sorry your days of getting paid doing nothing got ruined by Bryan and company.

Hanson in ceo role last 3.5 years. Where are you getting five? At least be fair and accurate in your data.

Ivan stop with your tough guy act. Its comical when you do it live. You’re not looking too good as coo either.
