A Masterclass in Selective Enthusiasm

Pros

Some staff genuinely care about the people they support, bringing warmth and dedication that keeps things running despite chaos. Flexible approaches in pockets of the organisation allow for creative solutions, if you can actually find the person who empowers you. Unique opportunities to witness organisational dynamics firsthand, a masterclass in “how not to manage” if nothing else.

Cons

Senior management seems allergic to accountability, often disappearing when decisions need defending. Consistent bias in decision-making, favouring familiarity over merit. Overreliance on delegation without oversight, leaving staff to patch holes left by “management.” Inertia is celebrated—change, efficiency, or initiative can be treated as suspicious activities. Meetings often feel like theatre: a lot of words, minimal action. Clear communication is rare; “transparency” is treated as optional. Task prioritisation is chaotic—urgent matters ignored while trivial ones are amplified. Laziness at the top frequently trickles down, creating a culture of minimal effort. Recognition is inconsistent, usually reserved for a select few while hard work elsewhere goes unnoticed. Professional development is under-supported, leaving motivated staff to fend for themselves.
