Lack of effective leadership in the C-suite - Project Management FHI 360 Employee Review

Our CHRO drove a global project to failure with unrealistic execution expectations, overworked HR staff and unreasonable pressure on our program staff. Our CEO sends feel-good messages that no one reads. But the Finance department really takes the cake; you can’t get a thing out of them. Essential Finance resources are being siphoned off to serve subsidiary enterprises, leaving the core FHI360 operations with inadequate support. It is common knowledge within the organization that the CFO, in particular, is exasperating to work with. When emails are sent to him, regardless of the importance or urgency of the subject, he responds “Let's chat,” but the chats never lead to decisions or direction. He can't seem to choose a course of action and stick to it; he changes his mind more often than the Kardashians change their hair styles. And if that’s not disturbing enough, he takes an hour-long lunch every day. Yes, EVERY DAY. As a result, the organization is hemorrhaging talent. Change is needed immediately before it's too late.
