Laidback babus no match for quick-thinking Revanth

The famous line “The speed of the boss is the speed of the team” is attributed to former president of Ford Company Lee Iacocca. There are mounting challenges beneath the surface calm of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s administration.  Nine months down the line, it is not his political acumen that is being questioned, but whether his team would ever measure up to his habit of thinking on the feet. While his sharpness is undisputed, the whispers in the corridors of power suggest that his team of officers is struggling to keep pace with the Chief Minister’s quick thinking. A seasoned bureaucrat conceded that this disconnect is causing unnecessary issues within the administration. The logical question that follows is: Will Revanth initiate another reshuffle within his team? Some insiders argue that a rejig again and that too so soon could send the wrong message, raising questions of stability of the administration.  Others nevertheless suggest it is better to make the requisite changes sooner than later. Interestingly, a senior bureaucrat hinted that while Revanth’s loyalists in politics excel, their counterparts in the administration may leave a lot to be desired.
