Advice to Senior Management

To reorganize the middle level of management inclusive VP (who carry with them people that they know not people that perform) and get ride of politics and the vertical structure with matrix organization. This type of organization does not promote innovation, communication and makes very difficult to work within the organization. Basically you work the politics. Especially the QTC organization of program management is not based on recognition of the good work but only politics and relationship. The good job is not rewarded but only politics of who you know. I think that QCOM is just lucky to be in the position that it is now based only on the leverage of its chipsets. The middle level management of does no do any action to make people accountable on their failure promotes grapevine and politics and does not reward people that are doing a good job. All it is of how many years did you work with QCOM and who you know. Also has an unfair way of promoting people. In this very vertical and matrix organization there are many weds that are never clear up but just move from one management place to another. Half of the managers barely speak English and have no management training other the in-house training.
