Unmute. Yes. Well, prior to being elected to the Senedd, I spent over two decades managing teams of people within performance management structures. This was hugely motivational for them. It helped me greatly, as someone managing them from behind, recognising that I did not have a monopoly of wisdom or power, but that, collectively, we could unlock the strengths of all to our mutual benefit and to our shared corporate goals. That is how the best organisations in all sectors work. It is to the benefit of all employees. And in my organisation, as in virtually every other organisation I came into contact with, including when I was a voluntary board member of external organisations on an unpaid basis, the chief executive was always part of that process, and was grateful for it, as it enabled problems to be nipped in the bud before they became serious, and it ensured real partnership between the employee at every level and those managing with them to ensure that corporate governance maximised its potential, addressed problems rapidly, but, more to the point, supported people to grow, to develop, to operate effectively, with real delegated powers, but accountable in the right way to their colleagues and peers and those working with them at every level. 

I'm very surprised and very disappointed that Members may not grasp that this system is essential to the effective working of any organisation, and that not to have it is to constrain the performance of that organisation, no matter how good the people within it might be.
