Ferrari Mailing List: FW: Human Resources Question [SPOILER]

[Luke Graves (buyer1]

 

Basically, he disobeyed a direct order from his superiors during the heat of battle.  They are going to have to do something.  My suggestion is that at a minimum, he should be benched to test driver for several races if that is possible.  A threat to his future WC chances would be something he would understand!

Nico should have just taken out Lewis in the first turn and locked up the WC right there. 

Lewis would have, I'm sure!

He disobeyed orders to pick up the pace so not to expose Nico to threats from Vettel and Verstappen. 

If he made it possible for those two to get into 2nd and 3rd place, Lewis would have won the WC based on the tiebreaker. 

When told 3 times to pick up the pace (he was running at least 0.7 seconds slower than he could have), he informed Paddy Lowe that "I'm winning the race and am comfortable at this pace". 

A couple more laps and Nico would have been at risk or at least forced to defend his position when he didn't need to. 

He could have let Vettel pass and still won the WC but Verstappen was right behind Vettel and might have slipped by as well if he did so. 

All unnecessary.

Euwwwww – race car drivers.  Completely different antidote for behavior problems.  They are from a different planet. 

Personally I feel trying to outfox and re-behavior such an interplanetary humanoid by demotion is dangerous.  Drivers number 2 and 3 are endangered.

Demotion manipulation, with such people, just makes them try harder to the possible long term detriment to the team:  on the track, in the stands, and in the press.  Hamilton was wronged.  Poor me.  Hamilton wins.  MB loses.

I could be wrong – the only initials following my name are “Jr.”

On the one hand I’m flattered that so many of you thought I might be personally involved in such a situation. And as usual, the talent here is formidable.

I guess I put a deeper veil on the question than perhaps it needed. The reason I had asked it with SPOILER in the subject line was that the question was actually about Louis Hamilton’s behavior at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. My original description is accurate and the interplay was between Paddy Lowe from M-B and Hamilton.

Were it me, I would keep Hamilton on the team for next year since he has a contract, but make him the MB test driver for next year and promote the test driver to the second race seat. This keeps Hamilton’s talent off another team, but dings both his ego and his wallet in a way I would think is appropriate for shamelessly ignoring team orders in a petty attempt to take Nico’s championship. I would also pull any performance-based bonuses he might have earned this year for things like points or race wins.

So what other ideas do you HR gurus have now?  J

So we have a lot of smart business people on this list. How would you address the following human resources question? You may assume, for purposes of this discussion, that there are no contractual restrictions on your course of action:

You have an employee who is a confirmed star on your staff; who brings millions of dollars to the company because of his performance; who is well loved among your customers and who may be difficult, if not impossible, to replace on short notice with an equivalent talent. You have enjoyed a mutually successful relationship with said employee for years. However, said employee has now assumed the opinion that he is no longer an employee but an executive, and has given a very public middle finger to the existing executive staff in the company and made it clear through his actions and words that his own best interests are more important to him than that of the company as a whole. He has clearly violated a clause in his employment contract requiring his cooperation with and execution of executive directives. Your corporate and national culture favor both a clear chain of command and dutiful compliance with assigned job tasks.

What do you do with this employee and why?
