Where do I start?
-No trust in employees and recognition for the work done
-Constant distraction by sometimes conflicting, concurrent goals
-Leaders have no focus, but they justify their behavior calling it 'enterpreneurial' and that means managing by chaos and fear
-Goals are set without clear reasoning and are real 'monkey numbers' (no reason, no rime except to set unreachable goals).
-Thosewho do well are falling into the same trap of 'management without focus and fear'). They have managed to be appearing busy and focused on whatever executives consider important.
-Benefits: This company is wondering why its so hard to attract talent (particularly engineers) when benefits are sub par (how about paying for parental leave?)
-Work life balance only exist if executives are on vacation: late night and weekend work is almost expected (to get the work done with the imposed deadline)
