Work locations spread out, coworkers/teammates in different locations

Sometimes the collaboration can lead to "analysis paralysis"; sometimes there are too many hands in the project requiring multiple levels of review/approval to proceed.

Hire leaders who have experience in the areas for which they are leading rather than switching one leader from one department to an entirely different one. This will eliminate risk for the organization and will promote career growth and learning for the teams that are being lead.

Advice to Senior Management

it all boils down to managment make sure you hire some one internally who knows the company well and understands the needs of the associates.Our team needs a leader not a best friend. the reason there is so much turnover is because managment allows their co-workers to disrespect each other and not step in and take care of the situation before it blows out of control. the company is a great place to work for but certain members of staff and leadership have led me to look into working for another company.
