“They described Carney as extremely focused on delivering an ambitious agenda of reshaping the Canadian economy in the era of U.S. Donald Trump. He is fiercely punctual, runs a tight ship during meetings and is decisive — all marked differences from his predecessor”

They are not used to working with someone smart, focused, and highly competent
They are not used to working in the private sector where you are judged on delivering results

Change is difficult. it leaves people feeling insecure & anxious
My advise: Let go of the way things were &embrace how they are going to be
Ask for clarity of expectations &direction
What advice would you give them about working successfully w/ a leader like Carney?
Getting butthurt because he's different from what you're used to won't help anybody. If you have to learn how to adapt, so be it. That's actually a good personality trait.
Adaptability is important for resilience
I don’t do well in vague and just look busy environments
It’s going to be interesting as the PMO and Cabinet staff their offices and craft their strategic plans to meet the objectives of the PM
Given that this is in the Post, I wonder if it’s an attempt to counter the reports of disarray in the CPC.
I’m not surprised if Carney is a “tough boss” who expects results but the piece goes on to make out like he doesn’t know what he’s doing
“shitshow” doesn’t ring true to me -
The journalists aren’t willing to give PM Carney the chance to get things set up
They wanted a budget in June and a fully staffed PMO in May
They are impatient for a new story b/c there is no drama to report on
The fact that they can find people willing to speak about what’s happening in the PMO is disturbing & unprofessional
Trying to force PM Carney to change his process by going to a reporter is bad karma for one’s career in govt
If a source won’t speak on record how reliable is their account and what are their motive
But the later stuff?
After describing someone as no nonsense and detailed, how do you get to “shitshow”
It’s so dumb - same old Liberals in Cabinet then big change in tone and expectations and then describing him
How many policy based committees do they think this man has sat thru?
It’s not all new no matter what they say
The right wanted change - they got it. Now they don’t know what to do
Inside Mark Carney's PMO where ministers get called out, punctuality matters and patience is on short supply

I try to do a google search to see if it’s a paywall article but it may show for me due to my apple subscription
I know Apple bad -
People figure out who talked - it’s a small world on Parliament hill
The faster Carney can get his office staffed - The faster the drama can stop
A govt without drama - sounds like bliss
