Who should replace Theresa?
Theresa Gattung's departure is not a certainty by any means (click here for some of your comments about whether the Telecom CEO should stay or go). But with chairman Rod Deane's resignation stirring the mob, it has to be on the cards. If so, who should the board recruit: an insider? Ralph Norris? Nick Enyon? Tim and Nick Wood?

Surely the maxim "anyone who wants this job is clearly unstable and needs to be locked up, not running a major corporation" should apply here?

Well Annette Presley wants the job and while I'm not sure anyone who does it will please the majority she definately talks the talk, and would be an interesting choice.

I have 2 nominees, firstly myself, i think I could handle a high paying job, where all i ever do is blame rising infrastructure costs and population density for high prices and low quality,
The second nominee would be Rodney Hide, he may not be the greatest dancer, but at least you'd get straight answers, and golden handshakes and perks would become a thing of the past.

If Telecom wants to continue to get away with what it's been doing to the public for the last few years, the perfect candidate would be a politician. Any one of them.

I think the question should be "should we replace" Theresa. With Telecom in such a bad situation at the moment, a changeover in management will simply make matters worse.

Why not the govt. employee who leaked the stuff in the first place? It would make T/C a little more transparent for the rest of the country, which can only be a good thing :)

Only I can take Telecom to the Next Level of Corporate Conscience and Consciousness.
On a more serious note, difficult as those are, shouldn't the question be: "who would want to replace Theresa at this stage?"
Everything's up in the air for Telecom and Theresa at the moment and stepping into that mess is hardly an attractive proposition.
