Senior IT leadership lacks focus and consistency. Priorities and directions change almost daily, often contradicting previous guidance. • The CIO frequently appears disengaged in meetings, showing more interest in sketching or doodling than in understanding the actual discussion. • Poor delegation and memory lead to the same tasks being assigned to multiple people, causing duplication of effort and wasted time. • Large sums are spent on external consultants to validate feedback that employees have already provided. Feedback which was initially dismissed. • Frequent emotional outbursts from the CIO create an uncomfortable and unpredictable working environment. • A strong emphasis is placed on being “data-driven,” but when data is presented, it’s often disregarded in favor of subjective opinion. • The CIO often assumes that solutions from previous organizations will apply here, without regard for this company’s unique structure and requirements. • The culture of constant “deep dives” and repetitive review sessions results in teams spending more time justifying their work than actually delivering outcomes.
