From the question, I think that trust is an issue. I don't know that the VP shouldn't be asking, though. There is certainly history that we don't know anything about. It could be that there's good reason to not trust they are doing their best. I don't have enough information to know. Thanks, William. From the question, I think that trust is an issue.

The VP shouldn't be asking how productive the team is versus various imaginary standards. He should be asking why he doesn't trust that they are doing their best, and that they are continually trying to raise that bar. Another great post, and I think you’re right to zero in on trust.
