Upper management loves to make plans to try and stay ahead of the curve, only to immediately delay and halt all progress on the plans and resume the usual reactionary panic that they are accustomed to.
Many of the older directors simply do not want to work or communicate, they tend to blame marketing because they themselves do not know what it means.
EnTech is sorely missing communication skills. Directors refuse to answer questions or give timelines on when their portion of work will be complete. This slows down the proposal process and really puts a damper on wanting to do any good work.
The president loves the idea of professionalism, but sadly, is fairly unprofessional when it comes to managing her team of directors.
Directors are primarily only there for their names and not the work they can do or provide. This does not bode well for company growth. Bring in directors that actually want to work and not just collect a check, because a majority of your older directors are there for that reason.
"Take Ownership" is one of EnTech's core values, which is the most ignored. No director will take ownership of their shortcomings or when they simply forget a task they were responsible for. They are more likely to shift the blame onto someone below them to avoid the ire of the president.
All in all, communication and a lack of responsibility are EnTech's major cons and likely will not change, unless management takes the appropriate actions.
P.S. There is cultural favoritism throughout EnTech.
