* Over the last six months, there has been a noticeable shift in culture and leadership approach.
* While there is considerable emphasis on teaching, coaching, and upskilling, much of the development appears focused on reinforcing predetermined viewpoints rather than fostering meaningful learning, critical thinking, or diverse perspectives.
* Decision-making increasingly appears to be driven by top-down directives, with limited emphasis on data-driven discussion or healthy debate.
* Career growth and advancement opportunities are unclear, with few visible pathways for progression despite increasing expectations and responsibilities.
* Workloads often feel unrealistic relative to available resources, staffing levels, and timelines, creating challenges for teams trying to maintain quality and balance competing priorities.
* Employee retention does not appear to be a strategic priority. The departure of experienced employees has resulted in a loss of institutional knowledge, raising concerns about long-term organizational stability and engagement.
* The current culture can feel more focused on alignment with leadership narratives than on employee development, collaboration, and evidence-based decision-making.
