I worked with him in the UK. I thoroughly enjoyed my job at UPS before he took over as Director of Sales and left as a direct result of his interference in my career. In my opinion, he was undoubtedly adept at his role, but was unaware or chose to ignore the mistrust and resentment his indefaticable bullish attitude created around him. It's a shame that it seems that this was eventually his downfall, as I'm sure his attitude compensated for vulnerabilities. If you ever read this Jack, best of luck with your future career, take forward what you have learned. Employees are also human beings and what goes around comes around. Treat people fairly on your way up as you might meet them on your way down.
