“It has never been my intention to make anyone uncomfortable around me, but that is still what happened, much to my regret,” explained Wester. “Following this episode, I have been working with my coach and mentor to understand the impact of my behavior better, and to better myself.”<\/p>\n

Wester claims that this being done because “accountability starts at the top” and that, even though it makes him less credible as a leader, it needs to be done. “I understand that this makes my cause less credible when it comes to handling these issues internally and will therefore not be involved directly with it, it will be done by HR at Paradox with external help, but of course with my full support if needed.”<\/p>\n
