I agree that he has a lot of work to do at NBC (even Roland himself acknowledges that) but that was the challenge that attracted him there in the first place bcos the guy has been over-performing with relatively small companies (at least that's what P&G, and... are in Nigeria compared to NBC) and the challenge was to try the same stint in a bigger/ complex company.
Personally, there are very few pple that i can stick out my neck for but Roland is one of them. He is the kind of person that can make you go all out to achieve something and in the end, you still feel good and want more. i have worked with him for over 2 years and i don't have a doubt.

Apache,
I will say you are right about Roland. Though he has been a tall target set on increase sales figure I will not like to disclose on this forum which will be an all year high for the company, also, there are some cost saving initiatives that he has started implementing, though most of them may initially have adverse effect on sales/revenue but in the long run, if well managed will have positive effect on NBC profit margin.
I have advise which I intend giving him on few of the steps he's taking. I hope I ll be able to do that very soon.
But to be honest with you, he is taking the right step so far. He came down to the people that others have neglected to seek for support and suggestion, which I think its good for him.
Sorry, Apache, where have you worked with Roland before now?
