How much did NZC benefit from Vaughan?

New Zealand Cricket CEO Justin Vaughan stepped down from his position earlier this week, and writing in the The Press, Geoff Longely observes that much of the time when Justin Vaughan headed NZC it was in turmoil either on or off the field. And while it is unlikely Vaughan was squeezed out yet there was still a lingering feeling that he had not carried staff along with his vision in the manner of predecessors, Christopher Doig or Martin Snedden.

Outwardly, Vaughan can point to progress in a number of areas and issues under his watch, with a more stable financial footing being secured, the weak US dollar aside. Internally, the former doctor performed some substantial surgery but it is arguable if the patient (NZC) is in any better condition.
