ALEX SUTHERLAND:

While he genuinely cares about the company and the staff, he tends to take things to extremes, such as insisting that staff members attend conferences due to his own pettiness.While some may find him endearing, his appetite for indulging in imaginative and hypothetical thinking raises questions about his judgment.
