Jamf reviews

Executive leadership seems lost in how to communicate a vision and plan to the company. Faith in them is at an all time low. Our prior CEO Dean's shoes were going to be impossible to fill as he was the most passionate, caring, loving, emotionally intelligent leader I've ever met. John Strohsal has completely whiffed at trying to fill those shoes. John lacks enthusiasm, hasn't communicated a plan, is unnecessarily defensive anytime we talk about the company situation, culture, and feedback, and worst of all he has been entirely ignorant to the pulse of the company and the contrast between him and Dean who he took over for. Most of us would have trusted Dean with our lives, and right now I wouldn't trust John to watch my cat. I know John better than the rest of the executive team, so I'm only commenting on him despite the blame being spread around pretty equally. John is not a bad guy, when you talk with him 1 on 1 he is entirely different. Yes, he's a bit quiet and more of an introvert, but he is understanding, realistic, and smart. But on an all company meeting none of this shows. He could use some executive coaching around internal communications and how to motivate a company. Outside of executive leadership, the one area Jamf has struggled with the entire time I've been hear is training and career growth. So many changes get rolled out and new products launched, yet the opportunity for the sales team to learn about these, get the talking points, and really train our sales "muscles" is basically nonexistent. If we do get trainings they tend to be very 100 level classes focused on the weakest on the team leaving those of us that are good sellers to fend for ourselves to keep improving. I would love to see a top tier sales training program developed at Jamf like some other companies sales programs are. But I don't hold my breath as senior leadership seems stretched so thin they can't even keep up with the duties on their plate now, yet alone creating a new sales training program.
