Question
The departure of key personnel can significantly impact the stability of an organization. These individuals often hold crucial knowledge and skills, and their absence can disrupt decision-making processes and daily operations. This can lead to major problems surfacing too late, disagreements among remaining staff, and a decline in product quality and adherence to deadlines. In the case of RIM, the departure of Larry Conlee, who kept the engineering teams on track, led to unclear decision-making channels and open arguments about product quality and deadlines.
