Disconnected Leadership Creates Instability
Pros
• Smart, hardworking individual contributors who genuinely care about the company’s success • Flexible work environment, depending on team and manager • Exposure to complex challenges that can accelerate personal growth
Cons
• Sales organization repeatedly misses forecasts and loses market share with little accountability • Leadership delivers mixed messages: claiming “deep pockets” while enforcing ongoing cuts and layoffs • Product and software teams face constant shifting priorities and unrealistic deadlines • Leaders outside of technology lack SaaS experience, leading to poor strategic decisions • Duplicative roles and redundant functions waste resources and dilute accountability • Company direction often feels reactive rather than strategic
