One of those rare executives who has mastered the secret of delegation. That is, having assigned the oversight of various functions to capable lieutenants, he made himself scarce. Arriving at half past eight he would head straight to his office as if he were already late for a meeting. Along the way he would return greetings with an abbreviated nod and when he passed his secretary he would inform her, while still in motion, that he was not to be disturbed. Then he would disappear behind his door.
