      TNC - a great mission, but management isn't great

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's so important to protect the rich diversity of life; TNC has great global vision, although the national organization is still struggling to find the best ways to be effective in international conservation and efficient in national programs. TNC has good political clout in the state, national, and international circles.

      Cons

      Many people feeling hurt by recent lay-offs; management needs to convey to employees the importance of core productivity; scientists are underpaid, but that's primarily because there have always been so many people ready to take their jobs. Peter Principle applies here; many people doing a good job in the field are promoted to management positions but are ill-equipped to be leaders and managers. Some leaders and managers are brought in, but not well trained in the core mission.
