Mr. John O'Connor:

It should not. As chairperson of a board, decisiveness is one of the qualities one must bring to the position. One must bring matters to a conclusion at some stage but one must also make sure that all factors are weighed up and due consideration is given to all relevant issues. It does not mean that one should rush to judgment or into decisions. It means one has to listen to views and to take them all on board before proceeding to make a decision. One is, therefore, balancing the need to take all issues into account and the need to move on to make decisions.
