The Three Greek “Executives”

The problem was that Greek headquarters had created an intimidating surrounding. The people from headquarters involved with Peru were basically three top executives: the HR director (the “friend”), a Marketing Director and a Finance Director. These three had no idea of managing a company. They were sitting comfortable in their nice offices in Greece, sending tough e-mails, giving orders, but without having any responsibility. Our hero had never seen anything like this before. If things went wrong they blamed local management, but in case of any success, they claimed the glory immediately! But they did not know how to run the business. This is logical since the specific people did not have any operational experience in the field. The Peruvian people knew this and most of them were sick and tired of it. These three "executives" were considered as a bad joke. Unfortunately, a bad joke with power and authority. Besides everything else, our hero had to face this situation. He had to prove that he was not like these specific three executives.
