Leaders play the blame game and good people pay the price
Pros
- Free lunch on Weds - City office is new - Has some good people
Cons
- Good qualified people were hired but not given trust and respect to do what is right and told to follow orders instead - There is an expectation that delivery teams are agile but the organisation and mainly leadership have no clue what agile is - There is no real strategy with only reactive decision making by a reactive CEO and snail paced CTO who aren't experienced in leading and supporting people effectively. They pretend to play chess but in reality they're playing checkers to the detriment of the people they impact who they are willing to sacrifice to meet their objectives. They don't live the values and they're behaviours demonstrate this with their main concern to protect themselves and get bonuses they don't deserve. - No real structured support with learning and development - People are fearful to express what they truly feel because they have seen what happens to those that challenge things - Recent shedding of staff (redundancies or people quit) has led to others to feel disengaged across the business
