Cons
Rebranded and relaunched 'culture': - you don't brand or launch a comapny's 'culture'. Culture is the heartbeat of how the company operates, how.peiple treat one another, how decisions are made, transparency, trust, psychological safety to have an opinion and being able to share it. None of that remains under the 'new' culture & current C-staff, sadly. C-staff leadership lacks the understanding of the decline in morale, the trust that's been broken, and the uncertainty and lack of confidence that now exists as a result of their tone-deaf and insensitive top down heavy handed messaging. Lack of trasparency & trust: - the lack of transparency & trust across the leadership levels of the company is astonishing. VPs, Sr. Directors & Directors are operating without guidance or knowledge of how to continually plan and evolve the business models specific to their business lines. C-staff is gaurding information and also speak of ensuing 'change' and more layoffs. That does nothing to instill confidence nor engagement. Perhaps that's their objective and if so it's disgraceful. They speak of sensitivity from their affluent isolation chambers while the work force is uncertain of the longevity of their jobs. Trust has been broken entirely as a result of their lack of empathy and lack of transparency. Toxicity is pervasive: - when your workforce spends more time looking over their shoulders in concern vs forward aligned to their jobs and their passions there's a problem. The culture is not what the C-staff so desparately believes it is. Culture is not a set of words and it's definitely not cemented thru monthly erratic all-hands with the CEO. Such ideology creates the toxic dynamic that now exists. I've noticed a dramatic shift in how people treat one another, the disrespect and disregard for people has increased, and the politics have rapidly elevated. All shocking and hard to palette as a people first leader. Psychological unsafe: - what was once a culture that encourage voices, creative solutioning, flat accessibility to senior leadership has now all become discouraged. C-staff is untouchable and even more unapproachable. That is their internal brand and they're in denial to it. Creative solutioning is suffocated under layers and layers of ineffective processes and multi-tiered and redundant approval processes. Leaders are not empowered with simple decision to keep the business agile. Such suffocation renders middle managers/leaders useless.
