To promote the program, Badenoch conducted a long interview with BBC political editors Chris Masonin which she confirmed, on Monday, she told Conservative staff that they did not have the effect they deserved and needed to do better.
Mason asked about it Guido Fawkes On Monday, she called all CCHQ employees to call and told them they had to improve the game. The website reports:
Guido heard that Kemi had called a comprehensive call at CCHQ today to rally a wider political party. 100 days after Loto, Kemi's judgment was that machine."Must do better” Party members told her in the leadership election that they "Want everyone in CCHQ was fired," Some even said they should “Burn the whole place.” She defended CCHQ at the time - now she saw it, she was shifting the route…
when mason When asked whether she told CCHQ employees whether it was true that it was not done in time. Badenoch answer:
I believe that everyone who works for the Conservative Party needs to be fully committed to the mission.
When asked if she was saying no, Badennock continued:
This is what the members ask for. And, if we feel that some people are doing well, we will tell them. When people aren't doing well, we do the same thing. We need to make sure we have good feedback. And one thing I want to see.
mason Said Badenoch seems to be saying that she thinks some of the employees are "useless". Badenoch Not accepting this classification, but she repeated her own need to raise the staff’s point of view. She replied:
No, that's not what I said. What I want people to know is that we want to have a high performance organization. Leadership is more than just telling everyone how great it is. Sometimes it's about telling them how to improve.
One thing we're seeing in this country is that millions of people are out of work and not enough people pull up their socks and get back on their feet. When people are not doing well, sometimes we need to have hard words, and when they are doing well, we need to praise. This is exactly what I did.
