Rohrtech’s Board did not make a rational decision to replace Devine with O’Grady as COO. To make a rational decision, a problem must be identified, a decision process must be chosen, followed by discovering and developing the possible choices and select the choice with the highest value.

Personality is the enduring pattern of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that characterize a person, along with the psychological processes behind those characteristics (McShane, p. 34). O’Grady has a bitter personality towards Devine. He does not provide his senior with any support or respect. He told him while they have to work together it did not mean that had to like him. This shows he had no professionalism towards Devine, nor did he like him or even try to. According to the five factor model of personality dimensions, O’Grady had low scores in agreeableness, extraversion and openness to experience. Whereas, Devine was the complete opposite. O’Grady did not trust, help or tolerate Devine while Devine was professional and respectful throughout the whole period as COO. O’Grady was insecure about TriVac and felt that Devine was a “plant” set up by Rohrtech in the company. He was not open to seeing an outsider trying to create more unity within the two companies. These personality dimensions of O’Grady affected his behaviour towards Devine by making him feel unwelcomed at all
