or not Rob Parson.

Its because of his people skills and lacking the quality of being a team player.

Parson has built strong relationships with the important players in the banking and insurance industries. He has performed an excellent job and increased the market share of the firm by 6 folds, from 2% to 12.2% and raised the companys rank from position 10 to position 3. But his outstanding performance has been delivered at the cost of violating the companys norms and values. Rob Parson has the ability to bring in good business but at the same time the firm cannot be expected to overlook his certain behaviours.
