Pros

Passionate and hardworking staff at lower levels Mission-driven organization with a noble cause

Cons

The CEO lacks self-awareness and strategic thinking necessary for sustainable growth. Her leadership style has not only failed to inspire but also created a toxic work environment. There is no clear plan for long-term financial success and sustainability. The organization seems to be moving from one crisis to another without any cohesive strategy. Financial resources are poorly managed. There are instances of wasteful spending, and the allocation of funds does not align with the organization's priorities. The Board of Directors appears to be ignoring the glaring issues with the CEO’s leadership. Despite numerous red flags, they have failed to take any corrective action and the leadership team follows blindly without question. The executive team is afraid to hold the CEO accountable for the current state of the business. This has led to a culture of complacency and fear, where critical issues are swept under the rug rather than addressed head-on.

Thank you for your candid and concerned feedback. I want to address your comments and suggest a way for your voice to be heard. Our CEO is quite open to ideas and feedback. Our recent employee engagement survey demonstrated that loud and clear with an 88% company confidence rate, as does her willingness to conduct regular small-group sessions with front-line program staff where employees feel free to speak their minds. The 2030 Strategic Plan (which is publicly available on our website) included significant input from staff members at all levels. As you may know from the work that went into our strategic plan, NPower is undergoing a period of change as we adopt new practices and technology – for some that change will be energizing, but we realize it may be uncomfortable for some. Both NPower’s strategic and financial plan has the support of the Board of Directors who regularly review our performance--including the leadership of our CEO--both in committees and at full board. Since you have chosen to remain at NPower despite your concerns, we encourage you to offer constructive, solutions-oriented feedback either directly to your supervisor, to our CAO or CEO, or through HR. All ideas are welcome and valued.
