Mike Sheehan -CRM AVP

Quote
Amazes everyone how he survived another rif. Amazing. Prediction: By the time the next rif in 2013 occurs we'll be looking at his team turning over 4x. 13 RMs in 5 years so far & counting. Amazing.

Now that we are on page three of this thread it's time for a reality check. I'm not impressed by Mike's skill set but to blame him for the turnover is ridiculous. All of his top talent left BSX for better opportunities and not because of anything Mike did. Why would anyone who has the opportunity to make more money somewhere else want to work for BSX? Can you name anyone who left who would be better off had they stayed to work under a new AVP?

I agree with the post before yours. While overall turnover has been high with BSC over the past few years, nobody has had higher turnover than MS. That just doesn't happen by chance --where there's smoke, there's usually fire. He's not an evil leader, just a weak leader...weak enough where his team has turned over twice in a very short time frame. I would assume sales Director's are judged on many criteria including retention compared to their peers...his is horrible. Especially when you lose good ones. Doesn't take many interactions with him to realize his business sense is poor at best. Not trying to be a basher...just telling it like it is. Just ask his current RMs or the folks who have left. It's not rocket science. There should have been a pitching change after a dozen walks. That's leadership 101.

These are good points, but did any of the folks who left MS make a bad career decision? Is there life after BSX?
 






Begging Jacobs to replace him with Mark K -- this guy is killing us. Mark is a strong leader. Let's get this ship turned around and moving in the right direction. C'mon, not a hard decision. Let's make it happen.
 






Ok Mark. We know how desperate you are to move up, but please get off of these boards. There has been about 20 RM's that have quit under sheehan's tenure, so what makes you think they will move him out now.
 










































The impossible has just happened. Sheehan lost another RM. This is beyond remarkable. Jacobs, are you that clueless? Its time for a change. Or should I say its about time!!! really, enoughs enough. How many more will it take before you get it.
This departure might save jobs. The ro-rganization is coming!

Who left? If it was MK, MS would not be in a good place.

You shouldn't blame Mike for these departures. Most of these RM's are intelligent, effective managers. If they had stayed, they would be making less $'s than the average under-performing BSX CRM sales rep on an EA.

You sound like Obama. When you're team is 0-12 who do you think deserves the blame ..the waterboy? Get a grip. When turnover is 4x the national average, there's a problem with the leadership. This issue is well known in the organization & is a running joke, yet sr leadership is out to lunch. Pull back the curtain a bit and you will see the incompetencies.

Let's assume you are correct. The entire Sr Management of the company is incompetent, so what difference would be made replacing MS? They put an incompetent DVP in the East, and he put an idiot AVP in place up in NE. It makes no difference.

I guess more people might stay at BSX if MS was replaced by a better manager. So BSX might be better off, but those who stay would not. If you still work at BSX and have no better options by now, you must have inherited one of those rare BSX-loyal territories and be doing well, or you must just suck.

Give me one reason why any talented RM or rep would work for BSX when they have an equal or better opportunity with ABT, STJ, MDT or BIO?
