The leadership read
Reductions rarely fall evenly, and the read is in the pattern. For NAB in Technology, cuts like this tend to protect, and sometimes deepen, leadership where the company is betting, while thinning the rest. Across Oceania, watch which functions keep or add leadership; that is the strategy stated plainly.
