Target reviews

The leadership "development" hinges on your peers communicating their perceptions of you to senior management. You quickly find that you must be constantly aware of how others view you because those views go directly to senior management. When that happens, you begin the struggle of perception management, even though it's often started by some peer who has never worked anywhere else. With very little management experience or experience leading people, these brand new managers are given the false impression that they are leaders who can judge the abilities of peers. This becomes the "machine" of the culture that each "team" member must survive in.

mediocre leadership and very poor HR strategy particularly locally. The political environment is a joke. Too many mediocre people are allowed to continue working with protection due to their prior connections rather than their ability, while others must struggle through without support.
