Gibson Guitar – “CEO is ruining the company.”

Pros

Great brand, rich heritage, legendary products. With exception of CEO and 1 or 2 others there are some great people at the company.

Cons

The CEO is the most erratic and unprofessional person I have ever met. He is ruining the company's reputation in the industry and preventing the company from meeting its true potential. The CEO conducts unbelievable micromanagement on every detail. Nobody is empowered to do anything on their own. There is a complete lack of internal communication (except for public berating) or any form of a positive team oriented environment.

Advice to Senior Management

Let people do the job they were hired to do and that they know how to do far better than the CEO. Somehow force the CEO out if you want the company to survive.
