Chapter 16 - MY MISTAKE WITH THE COMPANY

I made another bad choice two months later.

A Kane-owned security subsidiary had a contract with one Fiorentino hotel group.

I learned Raymond personally approved the CEO years earlier.

I ordered a nonrenewal.

Reason in my email:

Governance risk.

The procurement director called.

“Have they failed performance?”

“No.”

“Pricing?”

“Competitive.”

“Security incident?”

“No.”

“Then what governance risk?”

I stared at the screen.

The answer was:

Raymond.

Not the company.

I withdrew the instruction before formal notice went out.

Then asked for normal rebid at contract expiration.

Kane Security won again by a narrow margin under an independent process.

I hated it.

Approved it.

That was what boundaries looked like when they were real instead of emotional.
