Marian pins her problems on Dave, suspecting that the other section heads, as their informal and preferred leader, look to him. She is on the verge of firing him. On what grounds? He has expressed his consent to her orders. She was told to make their relationship work, because he was considered by Vince (and possibly by the other heads as well) to be almost as qualified as she to head the commercial loan business. Vince has told her to do what is necessary. Will he agree that firing Dave is necessary to finally get the leadership performance Marian’s reputation promised?
