Pros
Hybrid Work, Organization wants to “do the right thing” compared to similar organizations and is mission driven. Some teams work well.
Cons
The organization has far too many in leadership positions who lack people skills and an interest in attaining them. Or drives away those who do. This wasn’t always the case. Anyone who manages people should want or acquire skills to thoughtfully manage people. Instead the organization promotes either people with project management skills or people with perceived content experience. Soft skills are missing throughout layers of leadership. It’s responsible for the lack of engagement. I overheard someone who’s boss told them they don’t like “managing people”. Then why would that person be in the role of managing people. Another’s boss has never spent even 5 minutes over the course of years asking about them or talking with them casually. It’s bizarre.
