Leadership needs renewal and accountability

Business Outlook

Pros

There are some genuinely good people who want to see the company succeed. The foundation is strong, and there’s potential to grow if leadership becomes more open to change and innovation.

Cons

Culture and morale is on the decline. There is a real lack of diversity and diverse thinking within leadership ranks. The company frequently promotes an inclusion narrative, but it’s not reflected at the top. Leadership remains very flat, and decisions are often made by people who share the same background and mindset. It’s not about checking a box; it’s about embracing different perspectives and qualified people. This narrow approach limits innovation, stalls creativity, and ultimately impacts growth and performance. There is also a lot of outdated processes and systems. So much performative busy work and not a lot of results.

Pros

There are many talented and genuinely good people who care about doing the right thing for clients and colleagues. Some teams are collaborative, and a few leaders truly want to see the organization move forward.

Cons

The bank is stuck in the past with limited forward-thinking leadership. Diversity and inclusion are often discussed but not reflected in executive or senior management ranks. It's performative. Look across the executives and senior management and you will notice a pattern. Great ideas often go unheard, and decisions are made without strong data analysis to support them. Pay is below market, and benefits are average compared to peers. Some people in leadership are not strategic thinkers. They get too many passes with no accountability taken. There is a lack of modern understanding of how businesses operates. Technology and processes are outdated. Too many people that need to be retired already hindering the growth of the bank. Several managers can't lead. Everyone can't be in management.
