You have been pushing Paolo in different directions throughout the years with his work in BFQ, wasting lots of his time/effort. You have not given him any credibility for his work in BFQ and now you point him yet in another direction. I understand Paolo is a very persistent hard working guy, most likely because he is really confident about his work in BFQ and he should be! But, regarding motivation, if you continue to push him in different directions and without giving him any credibility - then at some point, you probably knows what will happen. > > The path forward is clear.
