Leadership is completely disconnected

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Steady work as the company generally doesn’t let go of people.

Cons

Senior leader ship is completely disconnected from the actual work that occurs on locations. The expectations are unrealistic, line-level leadership is not given the resources they need to be successful, and the right hand just talk to the left hand.
