-Management has no clue how to manage. -Besides telling blatant falsehoods, the longest-tenured VP’s best skills are self-promotion and undermining his colleagues and subordinates. -Member companies are very frustrated. It’s a true wonder why they keep paying dues. One has to think that they will eventually understand how their money is being wasted. -Talented employees either leave or are let-go because competence and ambition threaten management. -Advice and suggestions for positive change are viewed as “threats”. Senior Management never accept responsibility for mistakes and instead blame the constantly-changing staff as the problem. -The only “goal” is to prepare for the next Board Meeting, where they will BS about how much was done since the last Board meeting. It apparently never crossed anyone’s mind to actually do stuff in between meetings. -If you don’t worship the CEO and the ground she walks on, you won’t survive very long.
