Question #1
When his primary tool of M&A-driven growth is not an option, will Casper demonstrate the strategic patience and vision to lead an organic turnaround, or will he default to his playbook of aggressive cost-cutting to simply manage the decline?
Question #2
Does Casper’s intense focus on operational execution and his PPI system create a blind spot, causing him to view complex geopolitical and ethical risks as manageable variables rather than fundamental threats that require a different leadership approach?
