Great Vision, Poor Leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

This is an organization that truly wants to make an impact in the development world, and they have done well by putting their money where their mouth is. The expansion approach is great, and you are able to be innovative here with so much opportunity for growth.

Cons

Delegating too much powers to Country Directors means some are like mini-gods in their own right. When you have a Country Director who goes into a country and turnover is at almost 100%, HQ most times turn a blind eye to issues like this, and sometimes simply send the CD to a different country.
