ALL the directors fell silent, turning their attention to him.
It has been five years since I assumed the presidency of Blakely Group. The time has flown by swiftly. I wont claim that Ive poured my entire heart and soul into the company, but I did strive to live up to my grandfathers expectations and ensure the company thrived under my leadership.
Throughout my time in office, I trust that you have come to grasp my character well. Im not inclined to compromise easily or be influenced by public opinion. I firmly believe that a leader must be capable of navigating complex situations, have a keen eye to discern prevailing trends, and have the courage and decisiveness to make crucial decisions. Intelligence plays a crucial role in guiding the companys progress. Three essential keys drive the companys development: innovative strategy, intelligence, and talent. Both product and business model innovations play pivotal roles in our growth and success!
However, given your presence here today, its evident that you hold different perspectives. In light of that, I wont impose my ideas on you. Since our visions diverge, theres no need for us to collaborate any longer. Therefore, Ive decided to step down from my role as CEO and general manager of Blakely Group, effective immediately.
Despite any challenges we may have faced, I want to express my gratitude for your support and trust in my work over the past few years. As I approach my thirtieth year, Im excited to embrace fatherhood as my wife and I are expecting. I aim to spend more time with her during this significant time in our lives.
The board members displayed various expressions on their faces.
A few seconds of silence filled the room, then one of the directors spoke up.
I believe were all well aware of the significance the CEO position holds for Blakely Group. Mr. Blakely, theres no need to rush your decision. I suggest we put this matter to a vote.
Theres no need, Tyrone said, standing up from his chair. I have already submitted my written resignation to the board of directors via email. I kindly request that you all approve it as soon as possible.
Once the new president is chosen, I will conduct the handover in accordance with the companys constitution.

What transpired during todays board of directors meeting was as Tyrone had anticipated.
Tyrone took advantage of the current situation and resigned on his terms, which shocked everyone.
Certain directors hadnt expected things to proceed so seamlessly.
For others, it came as a complete and unexpected shock that the CEO of Blakely Group was going to change, leaving them concerned about their future interests.
As for the selection of the new president, it will need to be deliberated amongst yourselves. However, I believe youve already decided on a suitable candidate. I wish you all the best.
Tyrone then turned on his heels and left the meeting room.
The rest exchanged dismayed looks, unsure of how to react.
Harrell struck while the iron was still hot. Seizing the moment, he said, Its not wise for the company to be without a CEO. We must expedite the selection process to get the company back on track. I propose Larry Blakely as the new president and general manager of Blakely Group. He possesses the necessary experience and skills to lead the company to success.
As Tyrone left the meeting, he stopped and gazed steadily at Larry, who was walking with Theo.
Tyrone wasnt surprised to see the two of them together.
Congratulations, Larry, he said with a nod.
Tyrone.
The two exchanged a glance of tacit understanding.
Instead of offering an explanation, Larry greeted Tyrone with a wry smile before confidently striding past him.
